Abstract
The hyperfine structure of the low-lying atomic levels 4d2 5s23F2, 3, 4 and 4d3 5s5F2, 3, 4, 5 of91Zr has been studied using the atomic-beam magnetic-resonance method. Using intermediate coupling wave functions derived for the configurations (4d+5s)4 the experimental data are analysed with respect to the effective operator formalism. The effective radial parameters of the magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole interaction are determined for the two configurations 4d2 5s2 and 4d3 5s and are compared with relativistic calculations. The value obtained for the electric quadrupole moment of the91Zr nuclear ground state isQ=− 0.21(2) barn (uncorrected for core polarization effects).
