Analysis of the Raman spectrum of SF6

The Raman active fundamentals ν₁(A1g), ν₂(Eg), ν₅(F2g), and the overtone 2ν₆ of SF₆ have been investigated with a higher resolution and the band origins were estimated to be: ν₁ = 774.53 cm^?1, ν₂ = 643.35 cm^?1, ν₅ = 523.5 cm^?1, and 2ν₆ = 693.8 cm^?1. Raman and infrared data have been combined for estimation of several anharmonicity constants. The ν₆ fundamental frequency is calculated as 347.0 cm^?1. From the analysis of the ν₂ Raman band, the following rotational constants of both the ground and upper states have been calculated:

$\text{B}{}_0\text{= 0.09111 ± 0.00005}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{; D}{}_0\text{= (0.16±0.08)10}{}^{\mathrm{?7}}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$

;

$\text{B}{}_2\text{= 0.09116 ± 0.00005}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{; D}{}_2\text{= (0.18±0.04)10}{}^{\mathrm{?7}}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$

Rotation-vibration analysis of the Coriolis-coupled ν5g, ν6g, ν8g and ν9 bands of H2CCO

Medium resolution infrared grating spectra of gaseous ketene, H₂CCO were recorded between 1000 and 400 cm^?1, both at instrument temperature (40°C) and with cooling (?40°C). Interferometric Fourier spectra were also measured at ?70°C with resolution 0.22 cm^?1 between 450 and 330 cm^?1. The K structure of the fundamentals ν₅, ν₆, ν₈, and ν₉ was assigned. These fundamentals are coupled by a-axis Coriolis interactions. These couplings were analysed on the symmetric top basis for setting up the perturbation matrix and by utilizing the K-dependent Coriolis shifts of levels. A preliminary analysis of the Coriolis intensity anomalies was also undertaken.Band center values from combination differences are $\text{ν}{}_5{}^0\text{= 587.30 (27)}$ and $\text{ν}{}_6{}^0\text{= 528.36 (39)}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$. Synthetic spectra indicate the band origins of ν₈ and ν₉ to be close to 977.8 and 439.0 cm^?1, respectively. Estimates of Coriolis coupling constants obtained from synthetic spectra are $\text{ζ}{}_{58}{}^{\mathrm{a}}\text{= + 0.33 (5)}$, $\text{ζ}{}_{68}{}^{\mathrm{a}}\text{= + 0.714 (20)}$, $\text{ζ}{}_{59}{}^{\mathrm{a}}\text{= ? 0.774 (20)}$, and $\text{ζ}{}_{69}{}^{\mathrm{a}}\text{= ? 0.30 (2)}$. Approximate ratios of unperturbed vibrational transition moments obtained from spectral simulations are $\text{M}{}_8{}^0\text{:±iM}{}_5{}^0\text{:±iM}{}_6{}^0\text{:M}{}_9{}^0\text{≈ +2:?9:+10:+0.5}$.     

High-resolution infrared spectrum of the ν2 and ν8 bands of CH2D2

A high-resolution infrared spectrum of methane-d₂ has been measured in the C-D stretching band region (2025–2435 cm^?1). Rotational structures of the ν₂ and ν₈ bands have been assigned by use of the ASSIGN-diagram method, and the c-type Coriolis interaction between ν₂ and ν₈ has been analyzed. The band origins, ν₂ = 2203.22 ± 0.01 cm^?1 and ν₈ = 2234.70 ± 0.01 cm^?1, the rotational constants and the centrifugal distortion constants for the two bands, and the Coriolis coupling constant, $\text{∥;ξ}{}_{28}{}^{\mathrm{c}}\text{∥; = 0.182 ± 0.015}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$, have been determined.     

Strengths and lorentz broadening coefficients for spectral lines in the ν3 and ν2 + ν4 bands of 12CH4 and 13CH4

Line strengths and self- and nitrogen-broadened half-widths were measured for spectral lines in the ν₃ and ν₂ + ν₄ bands of ¹²CH₄ and ¹³CH₄ from 2870–2883 cm^?1 using a tunable diode laser spectrometer. From measurements made over a temperature range from 215 to 297 K, on samples of ¹²CH₄ broadened with N₂, we deduced that the average temperature coefficients n, defined as $\text{b}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>L</mtext>}}{}^0\text{(T) = b}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>L</mtext>}}{}^0\text{(T}{}_0\text{)(}\text{T}\text{T}{}_0\text{)}{}^{\mathrm{?n}}$, of the Lorentz broadening coefficients for the ν₃ and ν₂ + ν₄ bands of ¹²CH₄ were 0.97 ± 0.03 and 0.89 ± 0.04, respectively. A smaller increase is observed in line half-width with increasing pressure for E-species lines, for both self- and nitrogen-broadening, than for other symmetry species lines over the range of pressures measured, 70 to 100 Torr.     

The bending vibration bands ν4 and ν5 of HCCI

The bending vibration bands ν₄ and ν₅ of HCCI were studied. From the observed rotational structure the rotational constant B₀ and the centrifugal distortion constant D₀ were obtained. The results were B₀ = 0.105968(7) cm^?1 and D₀ = 1.96(7) × 10^?8 cm^?1 from ν₄ and B₀ = 0.105948(8) cm^?1 and D₀ = 1.96(11) × 10^?8 cm^?1 from ν₅. The structure of the hot bands 2ν₅(Δ) ← ν₅(Π) and 3ν₅(φ) ← 2ν₅(Δ) was also resolved and hence the values α₅ = ?3.033(8) × 10^?4 cm^?1 and q₅ = 9.3(3) × 10^?5 cm^?1 could be derived. The other most intense hot bands following ν₅ could be explained in terms of the Fermi diads $\text{ν}{}_3\text{2ν}{}_5{}^0$ and $\text{ν}{}_3\text{+}\text{ν}{}_5{}^{\mathrm{\pm 1}}\text{3ν}{}_5{}^{\mathrm{\pm 1}}$. Of the numerous hot bands accompanying ν₄, only those between different excited states of ν₄ could be assigned. Then estimates for α₄ and q₄ were also obtained. In addition, several vibrational constants were derived.     

Vibrational spectra and force constants of symmetric tops: High resolution spectra of monoisotopic H3SiCl in the 2200-cm−1 region and rovibrational analysis of the ν1 and ν4 fundamentals

The gas phase infrared spectra of monoisotopic H₃Si³⁵Cl and H₃Si³⁷Cl have been studied in the $\text{ν}{}_1\text{ν}{}_4$ region near 2200 cm^?1 with a resolution of 0.012 and 0.04 cm^?1, respectively, and rotational fine structure for ΔJ = ±1 branches has been resolved. In addition, some information on ν₃ + ν₄ of H₃Si³⁵Cl near 2750 cm^?1 has been obtained. ν₁ and ν₄ are weakly coupled by Coriolis x, y resonance, $\text{B}\text{Ω}{}_{14}\text{ζ}{}_{14}\text{～ 2 × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?3}}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$, only the upper states K′ = 2, l = 0 and K′ = 1, l = ?1 being substantially affected. Local perturbation due to rotational l(±1, ±1)-type resonance with ν₃ + ν₅⁺¹ + ν₆⁺¹ and ν₃ + ν₅⁺¹ + ν₆^?1 is revealed in the ΔK = +1 and ?1 branches, respectively. From a fit of the experimental line positions, standard deviations of 1.4 and 3.8 × 10^?3 cm^?1, respectively, to a model with five interacting levels conventional excited state parameters and interaction constants have been obtained. In $\text{H}{}_3\text{Si}{}^{35}\text{Cl}\text{H}{}_3\text{Si}{}^{37}\text{Cl}$ the fundamentals are ν₁, $\text{2201.94380(15)}\text{2201.9345(7)}$ and ν₄, $\text{2209.63862(8)}\text{2209.6254(2)}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$, respectively. Q branches of the “hot” band (ν₃ + ν₄) ? ν₃ and of ν₄ of the ²⁹Si and ³⁰Si species have been detected.     

Surface cyclotron resonance in Si under uniaxial stress

The cyclotron resonance of inversion-layer electrons on (100)p-type Si is found to depend sensitively on an externally applied compressive stress. At low temperatures (T ? 10 K) we observe a considerable increase of the cyclotron mass m¹_c with stress S along the [001] direction. The effect is most strongly observed at low electron densities n_s. For $\text{S～1.5 × 10}{}^9\text{dyne}\text{cm}{}^2$ and n_s～2 × 10¹¹cm^-2 we obtain $\text{m}{}^1{}_{\mathrm{c}}\text{～0.4 m}{}_0$ instead of the expected 0.2m₀. Along with this change of $\text{m}{}^1{}_{\mathrm{c}}$ a strong narrowing of the resonance is noted. Raising the temperature gives an additional n_s- dependent increase of $\text{m}{}^1{}_{\mathrm{c}}$.     

Neutrino neutral current reactions in 12C

The differential and total cross sections for the nuclear reaction $\text{ν}{}_{\mathrm{\mu }}\text{+}{}^{12}\text{C (g.s) →}{}^{12}\text{C}{}^1$ (1⁺; T = 1, 15.1 MeV) + ν_μ are investigated for values of 50 ≤ E_νμ ≤ 300 MeV. An effective Hamiltonian for the above nuclear reaction is constructed from the neutrino-quark neutral current weak interaction, by first constructing the neutrino-nucleon neutral current interaction and then using the impulse approximation along with the non-relativistic reduction procedure. The Weinberg-Salam model is the basis of the calculations. Detailed expressions for the differential cross sections are derived including the nucleon momentum-dependent terms. The numerical results are obtained using the general 1p-shell wavefunctions of Cohen and Kurath. The sensitivity of the total cross sections to the nuclear models and to the Weinberg angle is studied. The corresponding anti-neutrino reaction is also investigated. The ratio is found to be independent of the nuclear wavefunctions but very sensitive to the Weinberg angle. Thus this observable can be used to determine the free parameter θ_w in a nuclear reaction, thereby complementing the studies involving free nucleons. The recoil polarization of the final nucleus ¹²C¹(1⁺; T = 1, 15.1 MeV) is also studied and its importance is pointed out.     

Simultaneous analysis of the 2ν2, 2ν5, and ν2 + ν5 vibration-rotation bands of CH3Br

Previous studies of the parallel bands 2ν₂ and $\text{2ν}{}_5{}^0$ of CH₃Br by the two first authors have been completed by the analysis of the weaker perpendicular band ν₂ + ν₅, centered near 2745 cm^?1. It is well known that the v₂ = 1 and v₅ = 1 states of methylbromide are linked by an x-y-type Coriolis interaction. Therefore, in the 2500–2900-cm^?1 range, the levels

$\text{(v}{}_2\text{=2), (v}{}_5\text{2, l}{}_5\text{=0), (v}{}_5\text{=2, l}{}_5\text{±2), (v}{}_5\text{=v}{}_2\text{=1, l=5±1)}$

are linked by a similar interaction. Least-squares and prediction programs have been written to treat this kind of problems and they have been satisfactorily applied to both isotopic species, CH₃⁷⁹Br and CH₃⁸¹Br. A localized resonance in the K = 0 subband of ν₂ + ν₅ has been shown to be due to the 3ν₃ + ν₆ band. No evidence for a strong Fermi resonance between ν₁ and $\text{2ν}{}_5{}^0$ has been found.     

Critical slowing down of fluctuations in squaric acid (H2C4O4) at the phase transition observed by 13C spin-lattice relaxation

Spin lattice relaxation T₁ of naturally abundant ¹³C nuclei in squaric acid was measured close to the antiferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition temperature T_c = 373 K. A rapid increase in $\text{1}\text{T}{}_1$ is observed close to T_c coming from above, which follows the power law $\text{1}\text{T}{}_1\text{～ ε}{}^{\mathrm{?1.4}}$ where $\text{ε =}\text{(T ? T}{}_{\mathrm{c}}\text{)}\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{c}}$. This behaviour is explained on the basis of the two-dimensional character of the fluctuations.     

Infrared diode laser spectroscopy of the CF radical

The fundamental bands of the CF radical in the $\text{X}{}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ and $\text{X}{}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ electronic states were observed by using an infrared tunable diode laser as a source. Zeeman modulation could be used in detecting lines not only in the ${}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>3</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ state, but also in ${}^2\text{Π}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$, because the CF radical deviates considerably from Hund's case (a). From the least-squares analysis of the observed spectra, the following molecular constants were obtained: B_e = 1.416 704 (37) cm^?1, α_e = 0.018 419 (50) cm^?1, $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 1.271 977 (17)}\text{A}\text{?}$, D_e = 6.68 (15) × 10^?6cm^?1, p₀ = 0.008 580 (21) cm^?1, p₁ = 0.008 52 (11) cm^?1, and $\text{ν}{}_0\text{= 1286.1281 (5)}\text{cm}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$, with three standard errors in parentheses.     

The 2780 Å absorption system of thiophosgene

The vapor phase absorption spectrum of thiophosgene (Cl₂CS) in the 2500–2900 Å region consists of a broad intense band ($\text{log}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>max</mtext>}}\text{= 3.5}\text{at}\text{2540}\text{A}\text{?}$. On the red side of this a vibrationally discrete structure is found which becomes increasingly diffuse and merges into the broad band as the wavelength is decreased. It is shown that this vibrational structure can be explained as due to a $\text{π → π}{}^1$, ${}^1\text{A}{}_1\text{-}\text{X}\text{?}{}^1\text{A}{}_1$ electronic transition between a planar ground state and a pyramidal excited state of the molecule. In the latter state, the CS stretching mode ν₁′(a₁) = 681 cm^?1 and the CCl bending mode ν₃′(a₁) = 147 cm^?1. From the inversion doublet splitting of the out-of-plane mode ν₄′(b₁), the barrier to inversion is calculated to be ～126 cm^?1, with an equilibrium out-of-plane angle of ～20°.     

Analysis of the 2770-Å emission system in I2

A weak emission spectrum of I₂ near 2770 Å is reanalyzed and found to to minate on the A(1u³Π) state. The assigned bands span v″ levels 5–19 and v′ levels 0–8. The new assignment is corroborated by isotope shifts, band profile simulations, and Franck-Condon calculations. The excited state is an ion-pair state, probably the 1g state which tends toward $\text{I}{}^{\mathrm{?}}\text{(}{}^1\text{S) +}\text{I}{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{(}{}^3\text{P}{}_1\text{)}$. In combination with other results for the A state, the analysis yields the following spectroscopic constants: T″_e = 10 907 cm^?1, $\text{D}$″_e = 1640 cm^?1, ω″_e = 95 cm^?1, $\text{R″}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 3.06}\text{A}\text{?}$; T′_e = 47 559.1 cm^?1, ω′_e = 106.60 cm^?1, $\text{R′}{}_{\mathrm{e}}\text{= 3.53}\text{A}\text{?}$.     

Optical absorption spectrum of hematite, αFe2O3 near IR to UV

Optical absorption spectra have been measured on thin (011) single crystal platelets and on highly oriented (110) thin films of αFe₂O₃. We have observed and assigned some of the absorption bands predicted by ligand field theory and SCF-Xα calculations. The temperature dependence of the 11760 cm^?1 single crystal band has been fitted to the function $\text{? = ?}{}_0\text{(1 + exp (?}\text{θ}\text{T}\text{))}$ with $\text{?}{}_0\text{= 0.85 × 10}{}^{\mathrm{?4}}$ and θ = 200 K (139 cm^?1). We have measured the photocurrent as a function of wavelength and have found several peaks that coincide with optical absorption bands.     

Anisotropy of X-ray critical scattering in 4,4-di-n-hexyl-biphenyl liquid crystal

We have carried out a high-resolution X-ray critical scattering experiment in the isotropic phase connected with the isotropic-smectic-B transition in 4,4-di-n-hexyl-biphenyl. The measurements yield the following parameter values: $\text{d = 23.92}\text{A}\text{?}$, $\text{q}{}_0\text{= 0.268}\text{A}\text{?}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}$ and the critical exponents γ = 1.51 ± 0.12, ν_∥ = 0.65 ± 0.06, ν_⊥ = 0.70 ± 0.08. At the temperature t = 10^?3 ($\text{t =}\text{T}\text{T}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>c</mtext>}}\text{?1}$) the correlation lengths are $\text{ξ}{}_{\mathrm{\parallel }}\text{= 390}\text{A}\text{?}$ and $\text{ξ}{}_{\mathrm{\perp }}\text{= 1080}\text{A}\text{?}$.     

Analysis of the (ν1 + ν2) and (ν2 + ν3) combination bands of ozone

The fine structures of the (ν₁ + ν₂) and (ν₂ + ν₃) combination bands of ozone in the 5.7-μm region have been recorded and analyzed. The two vibrational states are coupled through Coriolis and second-order distortion terms. The interaction has been treated by the numerical diagonalization of the secular determinant for the two coupled states. With the centrifugal distortion parameters fixed to the ground state values, the following constants have been obtained: ν₁ + ν₂ = 1796.26₆, A₁₁₀ = 3.610₄, B₁₁₀ = 0.4414₅, $\text{C}{}^1{}_{110}\text{= 0.3902}{}_9$, ν₂ + ν₃ = 1726.52₆, A₀₁₁ = 3.553₇, B₀₁₁ = 0.4398₂, $\text{C}{}^1{}_{011}\text{= 0.3884}{}_4$, Y₁₃ = ?0.46₆, and X₁₃ = ?0.01₀ cm^?1. In addition, the following anharmonic constants have been obtained: x₁₂ = ?7.82₁ and x₂₃ = ?16.49₄ cm^?1. The value of the dipole moment ratio, $\text{R =}\text{〈011|μ}{}_{\mathrm{z}}\text{|0〉}\text{〈110|μ}{}_{\mathrm{x}}\text{|0〉}$, is 1.30 ± 0.10.     

Absorption spectrum of BS2 at 4°K

From these transitions, those observed in the infrared, and a reinterpretation of gas-phase data, the following molecular constants (in solid neon) are obtained for linear symmetric ¹¹BS₂ (in cm^?1):

Clive E. Barnes  John M. Brown  Alan D. Fackerell  Trevor J. Sears 《Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy》1982,92(2):485-496

Lines in the ν₃ (“antisymmetric” stretch) fundamental of the NCO radical in the $\text{X}\text{?}{}^2\text{Π}$ state were studied by CO laser magnetic resonance. The observations were assigned to P and R lines in the vibration-rotation band and lead to a precise determination of the vibrational interval and the anharmonic correction to the rotational constant: ν₃ = 1920.60645(19) cm^?1, α₃ = 0.003338(21) cm^?1. A single transition in the hot band (011)-(010), ${}^2\text{Δ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>5</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{-}{}^2\text{Δ}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>5</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}$ was detected. This observation is used to determine the origin of the hot band as 1907.11892(20) cm^?1, i.e., the anharmonicity parameter x₂₃ = ?13.48753(28) cm^?1.

J. Töpler  B. Alefeld  A. Kollmar 《Physics letters. A》1975,51(5):297-298

We studied the energy width and the width in reciprocal space Δq of the central mode of SrTiO₃ above T_c. At T_c+4° we observed an energy width of about 6×10^?7 eV. If the measured Δq is interpreted by a correlation length $\text{Δq}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{= ξ = ξ}{}_0\text{?}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>?</mtext><mtext>2</mtext><mtext>3</mtext>}}$ we obtain $\text{ξ}{}_0\text{= 75}\text{A}\text{?}$.

Toru Nakagawa  Koichi Yamada  Kozo Kuchitsu 《Journal of Molecular Spectroscopy》1976,63(3):485-508

The infrared vibration-rotation spectrum of formaldehyde vapor has been measured in the region from 2600 to 3400 cm^?1 with resolution from 0.04 to 0.07 cm^?1. An extensive rotational analysis of the ν₁ and ν₅ bands has confirmed and superseded the previous band-contour analysis of a medium-resolution spectrum. A large number of subbranches of both the ν₁ and ν₅ bands are perturbed by the combination bands ν₃ + ν₆, ν₂ + ν₄, and ν₂ + ν₆, whereas the Coriolis interaction between ν₁ and ν₅ is weak. The following effective rotational constants (in cm^?1) are obtained:

$\text{ν}{}_1\text{= 2782.49(1), A}{}_1\text{= 9.250(5), B}{}_1\text{= 1.2968(6), C}{}_1\text{= 1.1321(2)}$
