Аннотация:The hyperfine structure of the 5d6s22D3/2 → 5d6s6p4F5/2 transition of the radioactive isotope 177Lu has been investigated by laser photoionization spectroscopy. Measured spectra permitted the determination of hyperfine magnetic dipole constants and electric quadrupole constants for ground and excited state as well as the isotope shift of the 177Lu isotope. The data obtained were used to confirm the selective photoionization of 177Lu from a neutron-irradiated sample that initially had a natural isotope composition. A concentration for 177Lu of 50 % was achieved, and the photoionization efficiency was estimated as suitable for technological application.
