Abstract
A systematic investigation of the isotope shifts of all natural Samarium isotopes was performed in 15 lines of the Sm I spectrum using the laser-atomic-beam technique. The observed lines correspond to transitions between the ground configuration 4f 66s 2 and the upper configurations 4f 66s6p and 4f 55d6s 2. In one line a contribution of hyperfine-structure second-order effects to the isotope shift of the odd isotopes could be demonstrated. The measured isotope shifts have been separated in all lines into field shift and mass shift contributions assuming the specific mass shift to be zero in pures 2-sp transitions. From the field shift of the pures 2-sp transitions the changes in mean-square nuclear charge radii, δ<r 2>, have been evaluated for all natural Sm isotopes (in fm2): [144, 148] 0.517(27); [148, 150] 0.303(16); [150, 152] 0.423(22); [152, 154] 0.230(12); [147, 148] 0.152(8); [148, 149] 0.092(5). There is good consistency with recent muonic x-ray measurements of the changes in the Barrett nuclear charge radii,δR k , of the even Sm isotopes.
