Experimental Investigation of the Hyperfine Structure of Tm I with Fourier Transform Spectroscopy, Part A: in the visible wavelength range 400 nm 700 nm

Abstract

The spectra emitted by a thulium hollow-cathode discharge lamp with argon or neon as inert gases have been recorded with a Bruker IFS 125 HR Fourier Transform spectrometer in the visible wavelength region from 400 nm to 700 nm. The paper presents the investigation of the hyperfine-structure splitting of 50 spectral lines of neutral thulium. As a result, the magnetic dipole hyperfine structure constant A for 20 fine structure levels of Tm I have been determined for the first time.
