The complete hyperfine spectrum in the optical transition 5[ital d][sup 2]6[ital s][sup 2] [sup 3][ital P][sub 2][r arrow]5[ital d]6[ital s][sup 2]6[ital p] [sup 1][ital P][sub 1] of [sup 178]Hf[sup m2] was recorded by collinear laser spectroscopy using nanogram amounts of samples. The quadrupole moment and isomer shift were determined for the first time as well as a precise value and the sign of the magnetic dipole moment. The change in nuclear mean-square charge radius between the isomeric state [sup 178]Hf[sup m2] and the ground state [sup 178]Hf[sup [ital g]] was evaluated as [delta][l angle][ital r][sup 2][r angle][sup 178.178m2]=[minus]0.059(9) fm[sup 2]. From the hyperfine [ital A] and [ital B] factors the magnetic moment [mu][sub [ital I]][sup 178m2]=+8.16(4) nuclear magnetons and the spectroscopic quadrupole moment [ital Q][sub [ital s]][sup 178m2]=+6.00(7) b were were extracted.
