Spectroscopic Data for Neutral Francium (Fr I)

Published

Author(s)

Jean E. Sansonetti

Abstract

Energy levels and hyperfine structure constants have been compiled for the sixteen longest-lived isotopes of francium (Z=87). Wavelengths with classifications and transition probabilities are also tabulated for 212Fr. In addition, the ionization energy is included for isotopes in which a sufficient number of levels have been measured.
