Abstract
A time-of-flight mass spectrometer combined with a pulsed laser system has been used for determination of krypton isotope ratios of air samples containing 10 6–10 7 krypton atoms. A three-color, doubly resonant ionization scheme employing a 116.48 nm transition from the ground into the first 4s 24p 5( 2P° 1/2)5s J = 1 excitation level has been applied. The magnitude of a hyperfine splitting of this level has been estimated for 81Kr, 83Kr and 85Kr isotopes. Hyperfine structure induced isotopic effects have been investigated under different saturation conditions and found to be negligible when the first and the second transitions are strongly saturated.
