Abstract The isotope shift between all stable neodymium isotopes has been measured for 21 transitions in the Nd I spectrum by means of laser-atomic-beam absorption spectroscopy. A parametric analysis of the observed shifts in all the levels of the terms5 I,5 F, and5 S of the ground configuration 4f 46s 2 yields not only the magnetic parameterz 4f but, for the first time, also the effective electrostatic parametersa,b, andc. A more accurate value of the nuclear parameter λ148,150 (Nd)=0.369(20) fm2 is obtained from the investigation of a 4f 35d6s 2−4f 35d6s6p transition. The comparison of non-relativistic Hartree-Fock calculations with the experimental data yields a scaling factorS I * (Nd)=1.50(9) that agrees with the corresponding one from the hyperfine structure analysis.
