The Magnetic Moments of the 3<i>p</i>⁵ Configuration of Atomic Chlorine

Abstract

The paramagnetic resonance spectra of the ground 2 P 3/2 and excited 2 P 1/2 levels of both isotopes, 35 Cl and 37 Cl, of atomic chlorine have been observed. The off-diagonal magnetic dipole coupling constant A 3/2 , 1/2 and the metastable state g factor g j ( 2 P 1/2 ) have been evaluated from measurements on selected transitions to an accuracy of about two parts per million in the transition frequency. The magnetic dipole radial parameters [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] for chlorine are calculated.
