Abstract
Laser induced fluorescence spectra, using a single frequency ring dye laser, have shown hyperfine structure in transitions from the A[14.79]8.5 state of HoS to three low-lying electronic states, X18.5, X27.5 and W17.5. Analysis of the hyperfine structure yielded magnetic hyperfine parameters, h(X1)=0.3298(27)cm−1, h(X2)=0.1124(29)cm−1, h(W1)=0.275(5)cm−1 and h(A)=0.2314(25)cm−1. The three low lying states originate from the ground Ho2+{4f10(5I8)6s}S2− configuration and the hyperfine parameters were used to determine the free Ho2+ ion quantum numbers appropriate to each state as well as the approximate relative contributions of the 4f and 6s electrons to the overall hyperfine energy. Calculation of the ground state magnetic hyperfine parameter h(X18.5) from atomic hyperfine parameters was found to be consistent with the observed values.
