Study of High-Resolution Spectroscopy of Plutonium. Part I. Contribution to the Classification of the Arc Spectrum. Part II.

Abstract

PART I. - The study of the hyperfine structure and isotope shift enabled the positions of the first five levels of the multiplet {sup 7}F{sub 0-6} belonging to the fundamental configuration 5f{sup 6}7s{sup 2} to be determined. The classification of the arc spectrum begun in this way led to 25 odd levels, the number of classified lines (70) representing about 30 p. 100 of the light emitted by this hollow cathode in the visible. In addition, the isotope shifts of many lines and the data given by the King furnace show that the first levels of the configuration 5f{sup 5}6d7s{sup 2} are also low less than 8000 cm{sup -1} above the fundamental level {sup 7}F{sub 0}. The proximity of the configuration f{sup 6}s{sup 2} and f{sup 5}ds{sup 2} shows that the bonding energies of the 5f and 6d electrons are of the same order of magnitude and this fact must be responsible for the multiple valences belonging to plutonium. PART II. - From the hyperfine structure of spark lines (Pu II) the interval factor a{sub 7} for the electron was deduced giving for the calculated nuclear moment of {sup 239}Pu a value of +0.21 ±0.06 μ{sub N}.

PART II. - From the hyperfine structure of spark lines (Pu II) the interval factor a{sub 7} for the electron was deduced giving for the calculated nuclear moment of {sup 239}Pu a value of +0.21 ±0.06 μ{sub N}. The position of the hyperfine components show that the nuclear moment is positive, although the theoretical value given by B. R. Mottelson and S. Nillson is negative and equal to -0.1 μ{sub N}. (author) [French] PARTIE I. - L'etude des structures hyperfines et du deplacement isotopique des raies du spectre d'arc du plutonium a permis de determiner la position des cinq premiers niveaux du multiplet {sup 7}F{sub 0-6} correspondant a la configuration fondamentale 5f{sup 6}7s{sup 2}. Des lors, la classification du spectre d'arc du plutonium pouvait etre amorcee: 25 niveaux impairs ont ete mis en evidence et le nombre de raies classees (70) represente environ 30 p. 100 de l'intensite totale du spectre d'arc emis par une cathode creuse dans le visible. D'autre part, le deplacement isotopique de certaines raies, joint aux renseignements donnes par le spectre emis par le four King, indique que les premiers niveaux de la configuration 5f{sup 5}6d7s{sup 2} se trouvent relativement bas - a moins de 8000 cm{sup -1} - du terme fondamental {sup 7}F{sub 0}. La proximite des configurations f{sup 6}s{sup 2} et f{sup 5}ds{sup 2} montre que les energies de liaison des electrons 5f et 6rf different peu et ce fait est a rapprocher des multiples valences observees dans le cas du plutonium. PARTIE II. - A partir des structures hyperfines des raies de Pu II nous avons evalue le facteur d'intervalle a7g de l'electron 7s et la valeur du moment magnetique ainsi deduite est egale a + 0,21 ± 0,06 μ{sub N}. La disposition des composantes hyperfines permet d'affirmer que le moment magnetique est positif alors que la valeur theorique donnee par B. R. Mottelson et S. Nillson est negative et egale a - 0,1 μ{sub N}. (auteur)}
