Abstract:
The spectrum of atomic promethium has been observed with a variety of light sources and spectrographs. The Zeeman effect has also been recorded. Analysis of the spectrum shows that the ground configuration of the neutral promethium atom is 4f 56s 2. The relative positions (in cm-1) of the low levels of this configuration are: [Table: see text] This group represents all levels of 4f 56s 2 expected below 14,000 cm-1. From these results the following values of interaction parameters and their estimated uncertainties have been inferred:
