Abstract

The interpretation of atomic isotope shifts relies partly on the knowledge of nuclear structure. Conversely it can provide some information on the structure nuclei. This relation between the two fields has been for many years the main reason for the interest in isotope shifts of optical (electronic) transition (see, e.g. reviews and monographs).

Notes

  1. 1.

    The standard shift calculated on the basis of \({\langle }\)r\(^{2}\) \(\rangle ^{1/2}\) dependence can be corrected by dividing by the quantity [1 + 1.2 \(\cdot \) 10\(^{-5}\)Z\(^{2}\)]. This correction takes into account the effect of \(\langle \)r\(^{4}\rangle \) and \(\langle \)r \(^{6}\rangle \) terms and is based on the results of Seltzer [36].
