A study of the isotope shifts in the atomic spectra of the medium-weight elements was undertaken. Experimental data were obtained on the isotope shifts in the spectra of strontium, molybdenum, and ruthenium. A correlation between the binding energy of the last pair of neutrons, obtained from mass spectroscopic data, and isotope shifts was determined. The correlation is explained qualitatively in terms of shell energies and the potential energy of nuclear deformation. (auth)
