Abstract
THE hyperfine structures of a number of Sb II lines in the visible region have been investigated by me. As a light-source was used a lamp of the mercury arc type, and Fabry-Perot etalons, silvered by Dr. Ritschl's process,1 in conjunction with a Zeiss three glass prism spectrograph served to resolve the fine structures. Aston2 has found that antimony has two isotopes of mass numbers 121 and 123. The hyperfine structures lead to the assignment of a nuclear moment corresponding to I = 5/2 to the more abundant isotope Sb121 and I = 7/2 to the isotope Sb123. No relative shift in the fine-structure patterns of the two isotopes has been observed.
