The hyperfine structure of 276.9-nm atomic transition has been studied by the resonant ionization spectroscopy method at mass-separator IRIS (Investigation of Radioactive Isotopes on Synchrocyclotron), Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute (PNPI) for the odd Tl isomers with I=9/2 and A=187–197. A differential hyperfine structure anomaly for 6p²P_1/2 and 7s²S_1/2 atomic states in Tl isomers with I=9/2 has been determined. It is described by the recently developed theoretical approach fairly well. This enables one to recalculate the magnetic moments of ^187−193Tl^m(I=9/2) from previously measured hyperfine splittings for 7s²S_1/2 states and to determine for the first time the magnetic moments for ¹⁹⁷Tl^m and ¹⁹⁵Tl^m(I=9/2) from hyperfine splittings for 6p²P_1/2 states with properly taking into account the rather great hyperfine structure anomaly. Similar measurements with greater accuracy have been proposed for the other nuclear states in odd-odd Tl isotopes. These measurements could shed light on the nuclear magnetization distribution in these isotopes.
