The laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectrum of the B(3)Pi(0(+))(u)-X(1)Sigma(+)(g) system of Br(2) was recorded by Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTS). The LIF spectra were obtained by using continuous-wave dye laser excitation in the spectral region 16 800-18 000 cm(-1). About 1800 rotationally resolved lines were recorded in 96 fluorescence progressions, originating from the 10 相似文献   

High-Resolution Laser Spectroscopy of YbCl: The B(2)Sigma(+)-X(2)Sigma(+) Transition

High-resolution laser excitation spectra have been obtained for the 0-0, 1-1, and 0-1 bands of the B(2)Sigma(+)-X(2)Sigma(+) transition of YbCl and a rotational analysis has been performed on the (174)Yb(35)Cl and (172)Yb(35)Cl isotopomers. Comparison of the spin-rotation constant, gamma, for the B(2)Sigma(+) state with the lambda-doubling constant of the A(2)Pi(1/2) state (1) shows that the two excited states form a unique perturber pair arising from the 6psigma and 6ppi orbitals centered on the Yb(+) ion. The principal results for the B(2)Sigma(+) state are B(e)=0.097552(5) cm(-1), R(e)=2.43623(6) ?, gamma(e)=-2.1655(6)x10(-4) cm(-1), and DeltaG(1/2)=313.111(2) cm(-1).

Near-Infrared Spectrum of the A(2)Pi(i)-X(2)Sigma(+) (2,0) Band of CN Studied by Concentration Modulation Laser Spectroscopy

The rotational structure of (2,0) vibrational band of A(2)Pi(i)-X(2)Sigma(+) transition of CN has been studied by concentration-modulation laser spectroscopy using a Ti:sapphire laser. The CN radical was produced in the ac glow discharge of acetonitrile with helium as the carrier gas. All 12 branches including four new branches have been observed and measured with an absolute accuracy of 0.007 cm(-1) in the region 12 450-12 750 cm(-1). Analysis of the spectra has led to improved molecular parameters of the A(2)Pi(i) (v' = 2) state. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.     

High-Resolution Fourier Transform Emission Spectroscopy of the B(2)Sigma(+) (v = 0)-X(2)Sigma(+) (v = 0) Transition of the PN(+) Ion

Ultraviolet emission spectrum of the B(2)Sigma(+) (v = 0)-X(2)Sigma(+) (v = 0) transition of the PN(+) ion has been observed at a resolution of 0.05 cm(-1) by a Fourier transform spectrometer. The rotational analysis led to a great improvement of rotational constants in the B(2)Sigma(+) (v = 0) and X(2)Sigma(+) (v = 0) states as well as to the first determination of centrifugal distortion constants for both levels and spin-rotation interaction constant in the X(2)Sigma(+) (v = 0) state. Rotational perturbation in the B(2)Sigma(+) (v = 0) state was observed. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

Accurate Potential Curve for the Double Minimum 2(1)Sigma(+)(u) State of Na(2)

The double minimum 2(1)Sigma(+)(u) state of Na(2) was investigated by polarization labeling spectroscopy technique. A total of 1156 transitions to rovibrational levels of the inner well and above the barrier were identified. Using the IPA method, an accurate potential curve of the state was constructed based on a weighted fit of our experimental results and spectroscopic data available in the literature [D. L. Cooper, R. F. Barrow, J. Vergés, C. Effantin, and J. d'Incan, Can. J. Phys. 62, 1543-1558 (1984)]. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

Enhanced Access to the Dark Triplet States of (7)Li(2) through New Singlet-Triplet A(1)Sigma(+)(u) approximately b(3)Pi(u) Perturbation Window Levels: Perturbation-Facilitated Optical-Optical Double Resonance Study of the 2(3)Sigma(+)(g) State

Two new pairs of singlet-triplet A(1)Sigma(+)(u) approximately b(3)Pi(u) mixed levels of (7)Li(2) have been observed and used here as "window" levels in cw perturbation-facilitated optical-optical double-resonance (PFOODR) experiments. Previously, only one b(3)Pi(u) vibrational level, v = 19, was known to mix with the singlet A(1)Sigma(+)(u) v = 13 level, resulting in three perturbed A approximately b pairs [L. Li, T. An, T.-J. Whang, A. M. Lyyra, W. C. Stwalley, R. W. Field, and R. A. Bernheim, J. Chem. Phys. 96, 3342 (1992)]. The scarcity of window levels and the resulting difficulty in accessing the dark triplet states of Li(2) is caused by the weak spin-orbit interaction of Li(2). The two new mixed b(3)Pi(u) v = 15 and 22 levels reported here enhance access to the dark triplet state manifold through expansion of the Franck-Condon overlap factor range. Furthermore, the earlier range of accessible rotational levels, N = 5, 7, and 10, is now expanded to include N = 8 and N = 16, thereby allowing for more reliable determination of the excited triplet states rotational structure. To demonstrate the importance of the new A(1)Sigma(+)(u) approximately b(3)Pi(u) mixed levels, we have studied the 2(3)Sigma(+)(g) state by cw PFOODR fluorescence excitation spectroscopy. New molecular constants and RKR potential curve have been determined. As previously reported [L. Li, G. Lazarov, and A. M. Lyyra, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 191, 387 (1998)], the 2(3)Sigma(+)(g) state interacts with the repulsive 1(3)Pi(g) state by L-uncoupling and predissociates. We show that some 2(3)Pi(g) levels predissociate accidentally by the 1(3)Pi(g) state via the 2(3)Sigma(+)(g) state through L-uncoupling. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.     

Observation of Coriolis Coupling between nu(2) + 4nu(4) and 7nu(4) in Acetylene &Xtilde;(1)Sigma(+)(g) by Stimulated Emission Pumping Spectroscopy

Stimulated emission pumping (SEP) spectroscopy has been used to examine a low energy region (E(vib) approximately 4400 cm(-1)) of &Xtilde;(1)Sigma(+)(g) acetylene at higher resolution than was possible in previous dispersed fluorescence studies. The expected bright state, nu(2) + 4nu(4), is observed to be coupled to the nearly degenerate 7nu(4) state by a Coriolis mechanism. A least-squares analysis yields values for zero-order vibrational energies, rotational constants, and a Coriolis-coupling coefficient that are all consistent with expectations. Calculated relative intensities of SEP transitions, accounting for interference due to axis-switching effects, are also consistent with observations. Implications of the observed Coriolis resonance with regard to global acetylene vibrational dynamics are also discussed. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

The Rotational Analysis of the A(2)Pi(r)-X(2)Sigma(+) Band System of MgBr

The A(2)Pi(r)-X(2)Sigma(+) emission spectrum of the magnesium monobromide radical, MgBr, has been recorded with a Fourier transform spectrometer modified to record double-sided interferograms. The emission spectra of the Deltav = -2, -1, 0, +1 bands were generated in a microwave discharge of a mixture of argon and vaporized MgBr(2). The Deltav = 0 and -1 bands were rotationally resolved, but the F(2) spin component (A(2)Pi(3/2)) in the (1, 1), (1, 2) and vibrational bands with v' > 1 were missing in our spectra because of a strong predissociation in the A state. The molecular constants in both electronic states were determined for the two bromine isotopomers. The r(0) bond length in the A state is about 2.327 ?, which is about 0.02 ? shorter than in the ground state. Franck-Condon factors were calculated from the Rydberg-Klein-Rees potentials, and they reproduce the observed relative intensities of the bandheads. An upper limit for the dissociation energy (D(0)(0)) was obtained as 26 268.4 cm(-1), based on the absence of the energy level with v = 1, A(2)Pi(3/2), J = 1.5 in our spectrum.

Fourier Transform Spectra of the E(2)Pi(u)-X(2)Pi(g)((3/2)) System of CuCl(2)

High-resolution Fourier transform spectra of the laser-induced fluorescence of (63)Cu(37)Cl(2) produced in a cell have been recorded following excitation of a single vibronic level of the E(2)Pi(u) electronic state. Fluorescence occurs in combination bands to a broad spread of levels in the ground electronic state. A global vibronic model is proposed for the ground state based on an effective Hamiltonian, which fits the experimental data (2782 fluorescence lines, lower state quantum numbers: v(1) = 0-6, v(2) = 0-2, v(3) = 0-6, and J = 4(1/2)-80(1/2)) to 0.019 cm(-1) rms error. Vibrational, rotational and Renner-Teller parameters are obtained (e.g., omega(2) = 95.195(36) cm(-1), B(e) = 0.055106(3) cm(-1), epsilon = -0.1893(28)). A revised value for the equilibrium internuclear distance Cu-Cl is deduced: r(e)(Cu-Cl) = 0.20341(3) nm. The energy diagram of vibronic levels in the ground state is plotted up to 4000 cm(-1).

Fourier Transform Spectroscopy of Chemiluminescence from the SrO A(1)Sigma(+)-X(1)Sigma(+) Transition

The A(1)Sigma(+)-X(1)Sigma(+) chemiluminescence spectrum of SrO was observed using a Fourier transform spectrometer. SrO was produced in a Broida-type oven from the Sr + N(2)O reaction. A total of 75 bands from (88)SrO, (87)SrO, and (86)SrO were measured in the range of 7600-13 600 cm(-1) at a resolution of 0.04 cm(-1). The vibrational levels of the ground state were observed up to v" = 12 and over 10 000 rovibrational lines with J as high as 153 were analyzed at a precision of about 0.005 cm(-1). Significantly improved spectral constants for the ground state were obtained by representing the perturbed excited state by term values and by adding the known microwave data and infrared data to our fit. Strong perturbations were observed in the upper A state. The vibrational levels of the A(1)Sigma(+) state were measured up to v' = 8 and some new perturbations are reported.

Ab Initio Investigation of the ellipsis pi(2)(g) (X(3)Sigma(-)(g), 1(1)Delta(g), 1(1)Sigma(+)(g)) Electronic States of NCN. Study of the Renner-Teller Effect in the 1(1)Delta(g) State

Large-scale CI calculations are carried out to obtain accurate potential energy surfaces for the ellipsis pi(2)(g) manifold (X(3)Sigma(-)(g), 1(1)Delta(g), 1(1)Sigma(+)(g)) of electronic states of NCN. Separation of the low-lying singlet states from the triplet ground state is computed in close agreement with the results of a recent photoelectron study by T. R. Taylor, R. T. Bise, K. R. Asmis, and D. M. Neumark [Chem. Phys. Lett. 301, 413-416 (1999)]. Vibronic coupling (Renner-Teller effect) in the 1(1)Delta(g) state is studied by means of a perturbative and a variational approach. Results of the present ab initio study confirm explicitly the rho(4) dependence postulated for the splitting of bending potential curves in Delta electronic states at small deviations from linearity.

Molecular Constants for the v=0, b(1)Sigma(g)(+) Excited State of O(2): Improved Values Derived from Measurements of the Oxygen A-Band Using Intracavity Laser Spectroscopy

High-resolution intracavity laser spectroscopy (ILS) absorption measurements have been made on the b-X oxygen electronic transition (the A-band) which has bandheads occurring in the region of 13 165 cm(-1). The positions of the lines were determined to an accuracy that is based on calibration with I(2) absorption lines using the Laboratoire Aimé Cotton (Orsay) Atlas as reference. Based on the ILS measurements and the more accurately determined positions given by L. R. Brown and C. Plymate (J. Mol. Spectrosc. 199, 166-179 (2000)) and with the (3)Sigma(g)(-) ground state molecular constants fixed at the values determined by G. Rouillé et al. (J. Mol. Spectrosc. 154, 372-382 (1992)), the following values (in cm(-1)) were found for the molecular constants: T(0)=13122.2524(1); B(0)=1.391244(2); D(0)=5.352(4)x10(-6); and H(0)=-1.2(2)x10(-11). These results are compared with values derived from fits of the line positions listed in several other studies of this transition. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.     

Rotational analysis of the 0–9, 0–10 and 0–11 bands of theA 2II u -X 2II g band system of (16O18O)+

High-resolution spectra of the 0–9, 0–10 and 0–11 bands of theA ²II _u —X ²II _g system of (¹⁶O¹⁸O)⁺ ion have been studied for their rotational structure. This study enables a direct determination of the Λ-doubling parameters of theA ²II _u andX ²II _g states. The model of ‘pure precession’ explains, though not entirely, the Λ-doubling of theX ²II _a state as arising out of its interaction with theB ² Σ _g ⁻ state. The Λ-doubling in theA ²II _u state was found insignificant.     

Measurement of the N-->Delta(+)(1232) transition at high-momentum transfer by pi(0) electroproduction

We report a new measurement of the exclusive electroproduction reaction gamma(*)p-->pi(0)p to explore the evolution from soft nonperturbative physics to hard processes via the Q(2) dependence of the magnetic (M(1+)), electric (E(1+)), and scalar (S(1+)) multipoles in the N-->Delta transition. 9000 differential cross section data points cover W from threshold to 1.4 GeV/c(2), 4pi center-of-mass solid angle, and Q(2) from 3 to 6 GeV(2)/c(2), the highest yet achieved. It is found that the magnetic form factor G(M)(*) decreases with Q(2) more steeply than the proton magnetic form factor, the ratio E(1+)/M(1+) is small and negative, indicating strong helicity nonconservation, and the ratio S(1+)/M(1+) is negative, while its magnitude increases with Q(2).     

Bound-bound state quantum wave packet dynamics in the intermediate coupling range: the A1Sigma+u (0+u) and b3IIu (0+u) system in Rb2

The real-time quantum dynamics of a wave packet confined to two coupled bound states at intermediate interaction strength is probed by experiment and calculations on the A1Sigma(+)(u) approximately b (3)II(u) system in Rb2 molecules. The general dynamics consists of rapid spreading out over the whole phase space. Particular conditions exist, however, under which the initial wave packet motion separates into two mesobatic trajectories with distinct frequencies. These diabatic or adiabatic hybrid trajectories are analogous to those responsible for longevity resonances in bound-unbound systems.     

Measurement of the branching fraction of Gamma(4S) --> B0B0

We report the first measurement of the branching fraction f(00) for Gamma(4S) --> B(0)B(0). The data sample consists of 81.7 fb(-1) collected at the Gamma(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) storage ring. Using partial reconstruction of the decay B(0) --> D(*+) l(-)nu(l) in which only the charged lepton and the soft pion from the decay D(*+) --> D(0)pi(+) are reconstructed, we obtain f(00) = 0.487 +/- 0.010(stat) +/- 0.008(syst). Our result does not depend on the branching fractions of B(0) --> D(*+)l(-)nu(l) and D(*+) --> D(0)pi(+) decays, on the ratio of the charged and neutral B meson lifetimes, nor on the assumption of isospin symmetry.     

N(2)-Broadening Coefficients in the nu(1) Band of (35)Cl(12)C(14)N

N(2)-broadening coefficients have been measured for 30 lines of cyanogen chloride ((35)Cl(12)C(14)N) at room temperature in the P and R branches of the nu(1) band, using a tunable diode-laser spectrometer. These lines, with J values ranging from 0 to 55, are located in the spectral range 694-736 cm(-1). The collisional widths are obtained by fitting the spectral lines with a Voigt and a Rautian profile. The broadenings coefficients of (35)ClCN-N(2) have also been calculated from a semiclassical theory involving the atom-atom Lennard-Jones model for the intermolecular potential in addition to electrostatic interaction.

A Reinvestigation of the c(3)Pi-X(1)Sigma(+) (0-0) Absorption Band of Carbon Monoxide

The forbidden c(3)Pi-X(1)Sigma(+) (0-0) absorption band of carbon monoxide has been reinvestigated under different pressure conditions using the 10.7-m VUV spectrograph at Meudon. Overlap with the allowed C(1)Pi-X(1)Sigma(+) (0-0) band at lower transition energy has been taken into account. We have identified a new rotational branch corresponding to an S-type branch and extended the analysis to both higher and lower J. An analysis of the band structure and the low J transition lines suggests that the band gains its intensity predominantly as a result of an interaction of the c(3)Pi state with a (1)Sigma(+) state, most likely the C(1)Sigma(+) (v = 0) state. Molecular constants have been obtained for the c(3)Pi state that are in reasonable agreement with those previously published. The apparently anomalous small value for the centrifugal distortion constant is explained by a homogeneous perturbation with the k(3)Pi valence state. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.
