Abstract
By use of the method of atomic beam magnetic resonance, the ground-state hyperfine structure splittings in the two common gallium and thallium isotopes have been measured. The measured values are: Δν(Ga69)=(2677.9875±0.0010)×106 sec1, Δν(Ga71)=(3402.6946±0.0013)×106 sec1, Δν(Tl203)=(21105.447±0.005)×106 sec1, and Δν(Tl205)=(21310.835±0.005)×106 sec1. A comparison of the ratio of the dipole coupling constants in the ground state of the two isotopes with the ratio of the nuclear gI factors yields the hfs anomaly. Theoretical and experimental values of the anomaly are compared.
