Abstract

The hyperfine structure and the isotope shift of very neutron-deficient Au and Pt isotopes have been determined at the on-line isotope separator ISOLDE/CERN by resonance ionization mass spectroscopy combined with pulsed-laser induced desorption of the implanted radioactive sample. The changes of the mean-square charge radii were determined for the isotopes184Au (T1/2=53 s) and183Au (T1/2=42 s) as well as for 15 isotopes of platinum in the range between198Pt (stable) and183Pt (T1/2=6.5 min). The strong deformation of185Au (|β2|≃0.25) persits down to183Au. In183Pt nearly the same value of |β2| is reached but the deformation is build up rather smoothly in contrast to the neighbouring isotopes of gold and mercury. The magnetic moment of183Pt was found to be μ1=+0.51(3)μ N .
