Abstract
The first optical measurements of the neutron deficient isotopes, Zr87-89, and also the two long-lived isomers, Zr-87m,Zr-89m, have been performed using the new technique of collinear laser spectroscopy of cooled, bunched ion beams. Nuclear mean-square charge radii, spins, magnetic moments and quadrupole moments spanning the N = 50 shell closure are reported. The 'kink' in the charge radii trends at the neutron shell closure is the most pronounced observed for any element in the region.
