Description

For the first time, in-gas-cell laser spectroscopy study of the 57,59,63,65Cu isotopes has been performed using the 244.164 nm optical transition from the atomic ground state of copper. The nuclear magnetic dipole moments for 57,59,65Cu relative to that of 63Cu have been extracted. The new value for 57Cu of μ(57Cu)=+2.582(7)μN is in strong disagreement with the previous literature value but in good agreement with recent theoretical and systematic predictions.
