The atomic-beam laser-rf double-resonance technique has been used to make precision measurements of the hyperfine structure (hfs) splittings in the 5{ital d}{sup 2}6{ital s}{sup 2} {sup 3}{ital F}{sub {ital J}} ({ital J}=2--4) states in {sup 177,179}Hf I. By making corrections to the second-order hfs effects, magnetic dipole ({ital A}), electric quadrupole ({ital B}), and magnetic octupole ({ital C}) hfs constants are obtained for the {sup 3}{ital F}{sub {ital J}} states in {sup 177,179}Hf: The constant {ital C} has a strong {ital J} dependence as well as does {ital A} and {ital B}; the isotopic ratio of the constant {ital A} between {sup 177}Hf and {sup 179}Hf has a significant {ital J} dependence, indicating {ital J}-dependent hyperfine anomalies, while that of the constant {ital C} is independent of {ital J} within experimental uncertainties, which is taken to be the ratio of the nuclear-ground-state magnetic octupole moments {Omega}, i.e., {Omega}({sup 177}Hf)/{Omega}({sup 179}Hf)={minus}0.41(9). It is also pointed out that there is a clear indication of nuclear-spin dependence of the isotopic ratios of {ital C}. The single-electron hfs parameters of the 5{ital d} electron for the 5{ital d}{sup 2}6{ital s}{sup 2} configuration in Hf I are obtained, and the Sternheimer shielding factor {ital R}{sub 5{ital d}}={minus}0.397(8) is derived.
