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

The A(2)Pi-X(2)Sigma(+) transition of (174)Yb(35)Cl and (172)Yb(35)Cl has been rotationally analyzed for the first time. Doppler-limited laser excitation spectroscopy with selective detection of fluorescence was used to obtain spectra of the 0-0 and 1-0 bands with a measurement accuracy of approximately 0.0035 cm(-1). Resolved fluorescence was used to record the 0-1, 0-2, and 0-3 bands and to unequivocally assign the rotational numbering, N, to the laser excitation spectra. In total, over 1300 line positions have been measured and assigned for each of the two isotopomers and employed in least-squares fits of molecular parameters. The principal results for the A(2)Pi state are A(e) = 1491.494(2) cm(-1) and R(e) = 2.4433(1) ?, and for the X(2)Sigma(+) state, R(e) = 2.4883(2) ? and gamma(e) = 4.59(2) x 10(-3) cm(-1). The interaction between the X(2)Sigma(+) and A(2)Pi states has been investigated and is shown to be the main contributor to the spin-rotation splitting in the ground state.

Near-Infrared Laser Spectroscopy of TiS: The b(1)Pi-X(3)Delta Transition

Laser-induced fluorescence spectrum of TiS in the 769-863 nm region has been recorded and analyzed. The TiS molecule was produced using the technique of laser vaporization/reaction with supersonic cooling. Twenty-one weak subbands have been assigned as being due to b(1)Pi-X(3)Delta, B(3)Pi(0)-X(3)Delta(1), and C(3)Delta-X(3)Delta transitions. Strong evidence shows that the b(1)Pi state is responsible for perturbing the v = 0, 1, and 2 levels of the C(3)Delta(1) subband. The molecular constants of the b(1)Pi state have been determined as follows: T(e) = 10 589.47 cm(-1), omega(e) = 542.14 cm(-1), omega(e)x(e) = 3.16 cm(-1), B(e) = 0.19568 cm(-1), and alpha(e) = 0.00085 cm(-1). The spin-orbit interaction between the b(1)Pi (v = 2 and 3) and C(3)Delta (v = 1 and 2) levels is discussed in terms of configuration interaction occurring between the b(1)Pi from the 11varsigma(1) 5pi(1) configuration and the (1)Pi from the 5pi(1) 1delta(1) configuration, and the C(3)Delta state from 12varsigma(1) 1delta(1) configuration.

The Comet-Tail (A(2)Pi(i)-X(2)Sigma(+)) System of (12)C(16)O(+): A Reinvestigation

The emission spectrum of the comet-tail (A(2)Pi(i)-X(2)Sigma(+)) system of (12)C(16)O(+) produced in the cathode glow of a hollow-cathode discharge tube and photographed in the spectral region 3345-8500 ? at high resolution was reinvestigated. Detailed rotational analysis of 10 bands involving 5 vibrational levels v = 0 to 4 of each of the A and X states was carried out. Spin-splitting of the rotational levels was observed for the analyzed bands. The observed intensity distribution of the branches is found to be in good agreement with theoretical calculations. Molecular constants for both the A and X states were obtained from a global fit of the present data of the A-X system and the infrared and microwave data available from the literature for v = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 of state X, using effective Hamiltonian for the A(2)Pi state and matrix elements for both A and X states. The present work suggests that the A(2)Pi(i) state changes from Hund's case (a) at low J values to Hund's case (b) at high J values. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

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).

High-Resolution Laser Photoacoustic Spectroscopy of HSiF(3): The 5nu(1) and 6nu(1) Overtone Bands

A spectrum of HSiF(3) has been recorded at room temperature with a gas pressure of 20-50 Torr in the near-infrared region. A laser photoacoustic spectrometer consisting of a longitudinal resonant cell coupled to a titanium:sapphire ring laser was employed. The 5nu(1) and 6nu(1) overtone bands of H(28)SiF(3) associated with the Si-H stretching have been observed at high resolution (3 x 10(-2) cm(-1)) in the regions 10 900-10 960 and 12 875-12 925 cm(-1), respectively. About 450 lines of the 5nu(1)-0 band have been assigned (J 相似文献   

Anomalous Vibrational Dependence of the Rotational and Hyperfine Parameters in the B(4)Pi-X(4)Sigma(-) Transition of NbO

The laser excitation spectrum of jet-cooled NbO in the region 16 000-18 000 cm(-1) has been recorded at high resolution, giving rotational and hyperfine constants for the levels v=0-3 of the B(4)Pi state and v=1 of the X(4)Sigma(-) state; zero gaps have also been measured at low resolution for some weaker bands involving higher vibrational levels. Taken together with the laser data for the B-X (0,0) band from Adam et al. (J. Chem. Phys. 94, 6240-6262 (1994)) and the Fourier transform emission data for the doublet manifold from Launila et al. (J. Mol. Spectrosc. 186, 131-143 (1997)), the new data give a very complete picture of the vibrational energy level pattern in this region. Strong irregularities in the vibrational dependences of the B(4)Pi rotational and hyperfine constants can be interpreted in terms of spin-orbit interaction between the B(4)Pi state and the f(2)Pi, e(2)Phi, and d(2)Delta states. The interaction is strong enough that all three doublet states can be seen in absorption from the X(4)Sigma(-) ground state, adding to the complexity of the spectrum. The hitherto unknown sigmadeltasigma* (4)Delta state is estimated to lie near 17 500 cm(-1), from the change of sign in the spin-rotation parameter gamma of the B(4)Pi state between v=2 and 3.

Far-Infrared Laser Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Study of the nu(2) Bending Fundamental of the CCN Radical in Its &Xtilde;(2)Pi(r) State

Bending vibration-rotation transitions between the (010) μ(2)Sigma(-) and (000) (2)Pi(r) vibronic states of the CCN radical in its ground electronic state have been observed using far-infrared laser magnetic resonance (FIR LMR) spectroscopy. Thirteen FIR laser lines were used to record 769 resonances. The LMR data, combined with previous data, were used to determine vibrational, Renner-Teller, fine-structure, rotational, hyperfine, and molecular g-factor parameters using a least-squares fitting routine. The model used was an N(2) effective Hamiltonian modified to include the Renner-Teller effect explicitly in a (2)Pi electronic state. The band origin for the (010) μ(2)Sigma(-) <-- (000) &Xtilde;(2)Pi(r) transition was determined to be 179.598176 +/- 0.000067 cm(-1). The spin-orbit splitting in the ground state was refined and the complete set of (14)N-hyperfine parameters determined for the first time.     

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.

Laser-Induced Fluorescence and Fourier Transform Spectroscopy of NiCl: Identification of a Low-Lying (2)Sigma(+) State (1768 cm(-1))

From a comparison with the spectrum of NiF, a low-lying (2)Sigma(+) state is expected to lie in the first 2000 cm(-1) above the ground X(2)Pi(3/2) state of NiCl. The identification of this (2)Sigma(+) (v = 0) state (at 1768 cm(-1)) has been carried out through the analysis of two electronic transitions (2)Pi(3/2)-(2)Sigma(+) (22 720 cm(-1)) and (2)Pi(1/2)-(2)Sigma(+) (23 210 cm(-1)) recorded by high-resolution Fourier transform spectroscopy. Dispersed fluorescence spectroscopy allowed these transitions to be located on an absolute energy-level diagram that includes the previously studied electronic states.

Experimental determination of the nu5 cis-bending vibrational frequency and Renner-Teller structure in ground state (X2Piu) C2H2+ using laser induced reactions

The spectrum of the nu(5) cis-bending vibration of ground state (X(2)Pi(u)) C(2)H(2)(+) has been recorded applying the method of laser induced reactions in a low-temperature 22-pole ion trap. It is obtained by counting the number of products of the reaction C(2)H(2)(+) (v(5) = 1) + H(2)--> C(2)H(3)(+) + H as a function of the laser wavelength. The vibronic transitions Delta-Pi and Sigma-Pi with their corresponding spin-orbit and Renner-Teller substructure have been observed. Using a perturbative analysis, the vibrational frequency has been determined to omega(5) = (710 +/- 4) cm(-1) and the Renner-Teller parameter epsilon(5) is on the order of 3 x 10(-2).     

Rovibrational Analysis of the nu(2) Band of Diazirine-d(2)

The gas-phase IR spectrum of the nu(2) (A(1), 1610.33 cm(-1)) band of the deuterated isotopomer of diazirine, D(2)CN(2), a three-membered ring compound which belongs to the molecular symmetry point group C(2v), has been studied at a resolution of about 0.005 cm(-1). This vibrational mode which can be approximately described as N&dbond;N stretching is widely perturbed. This is due to various interactions with the tetrad consisting of the binary combinations nu(6) + nu(7) (A(1)), nu(7) + nu(9) (A(2)), nu(5) + nu(6) (B(2)), and nu(5) + nu(9) (B(1)), which form a relatively isolated pentad together with nu(2) in the wavenumber region 1560-1610 cm(-1). A simultaneous upper state analysis of nu(2) from a pentad model including these resonances has been performed and a set of spectroscopic parameters has been obtained. Since the four combination bands of the pentad are dark states, only band centers could be determined; in addition for nu(5) + nu(9) and nu(7) + nu(9) also the term (B - C)/2 has been obtained. A number of Coriolis interaction constants and the vibrational resonance (with nu(6) + nu(7)) parameter have been calculated as well. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.     

The E(2)Sigma(+) --> C(2)Pi Transition of NO and Term Values for the A, D, E, and C Lowest Rydberg Levels

The E(2)Sigma(+) --> C(2)Pi Rydberg-Rydberg transition of (14)N(16)O near 8492 cm(-1) has been studied by Fourier transform spectrometry in the emission from a dc excited supersonic jet expansion and from a dc discharge under equilibrium conditions. The same transition has also been observed in laser-induced stimulated emission. Line wavenumbers of the 0-0, 1-1, and 2-2 bands, together with data for previously published near-infrared transitions, have been reduced to consistent sets of rovibronic term values for v = 0, 1, and 2 of the A(2)Sigma(+), D(2)Sigma(+), E(2)Sigma(+), and C(2)Pi states which frequently serve as intermediates in the multiphoton excitation of higher Rydberg levels of NO.

Variational Calculations of Rovibrational Energies for CO(2)

In this work, the BaI D(2)Sigma(+) and G(2)Sigma(+) electronic states were investigated using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTS). The LIF visible spectra were obtained by using the second harmonic of the Ti:sapphire single-mode laser and the Ar(+) and Kr(+) multimode lasers as excitation sources. Previously recorded data, taken from C. A. Leach, A. A. Tsekouras, and R. N. Zare (1992, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 153, 59-72) and from R. F. Gutterres, J. Vergès, and C. Amiot (1999, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 196, 29-44; 2000, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 200, 253-260; and 2000, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 201, 326-327) were combined with the present data. Accurate and improved molecular constants for the X(2)Sigma(+), B(2)Sigma(+), A('2)Delta, A(2)Pi, C(2)Pi, and D(2)Sigma(+) states and 16 term values of the G(2)Sigma(+) state were derived from a simultaneous treatment of the whole data set (12 684 transitions) with a standard deviation of 3.26x10(-3) cm(-1).

Line-Mixing Effects in He- and N(2)-Broadened Sigma <-- Pi Infrared Q Branches of C(2)H(2)

Two Q branches of C(2)H(2) near 716.3 and 719.9 cm(-1) belonging to the (nu(4) + nu(5))(0) - nu(1f)(4) and 2nu(0)(5)-nu(1f)(5) bands, of Sigma <-- Pi symmetry, have been studied for He and N(2) perturbers at pressures ranging from 0.05 to 1 atm, using a tunable diode-laser spectrometer. To interpret the line-mixing effects observed in these spectra, we have applied a model based on the energy-corrected sudden approximation whose parameters have been only derived from line-broadening data. This model provides satisfactory agreement with experimental bandshapes for both bands and perturbers, especially at pressures higher than 0.1 atm. The Q-branch profiles for C(2)H(2)-He are higher and narrower than those obtained for C(2)H(2)-N(2) at the same pressure as the result of smaller broadening coefficients and larger line-mixing effects in the former system.

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).

First Observation of Hyperfine Structure in K(2)

The hyperfine structure of the (v'-v") = (27-0) band of the b(3)Pi(u0(+)) <-- X(1)Sigma(+)(g) transition has been observed by laser excitation spectroscopy in a highly collimated molecular beam. Hyperfine parameters for magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole interaction are derived from least-squares fitting of the hyperfine pattern and deperturbation between A(1)Sigma(+)(u) and b(3)Pi(u0(+)).

Fourier Transform Spectroscopy of the A'(1)Pi-X(1)Sigma(+) System of CaO

The A'(1)Pi-X(1)Sigma(+) near-infrared system of CaO was observed for the first time at high resolution using a Fourier transform spectrometer. The A'(1)Pi-X(1)Sigma(+) chemiluminescence was excited in a Ca + N(2)O flame produced in a Broida-type oven. More than 3000 rotational lines, classified into 19 bands involving the A'(1)Pi 0 /= 2) levels with the nearby b(3)Sigma(+) (v-2) levels has been detected. An extended set of A'(1)Pi (v = 0-3) data has been obtained which is suitable for use in a future multistate deperturbation analysis of the a(3)Pi approximately A'(1)Pi approximately b(3)Sigma(+) approximately A(1)Sigma(+) complex of excited states. The new near-infrared spectra of the A'(1)Pi-X(1)Sigma(+) transition of CaO also permits the first direct high-resolution linkage between the orange and green systems and the near-infrared bands.

The KRb (2)(3)Sigma(+) Electronic State

High-resolution spectra of the (3)(1)Pi --> (2)(3)Sigma(+) system of the KRb molecule, obtained after excitation with fixed frequencies Ar(+) laser lines, were recorded on a Connes-type Fourier transform interferometer. Molecular constants of the first 14 vibrational levels of the (2)(3)Sigma(+) state are determined. The RKR potential energy curve is derived. The main spectroscopic constants for this triplet electronic state of the (39)K (85)Rb isotopic species are T(e) = 13 507.146(2) cm(-1), omega(e) = 48.6385(6) cm(-1), B(e) = 0.0254152(5) cm(-1), gamma = 0.00164(4) cm(-1), epsilon = -0.469(2) cm(-1), R(e) = 4.98345 ?, 𝒟(e) = 3447 cm(-1).

The Perturbation between the G(1)Pi(g) and 2(1)Delta(g) States of (7)Li(2)

We have observed the rotational levels in the v = 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 vibrational manifolds of the 2(1)Delta(g) state of (7)Li(2) via the A(1)Sigma(+)(u) intermediate levels by DeltaLambda = 2 transitions. This violation of the DeltaLambda = 0, +/-1 selection rule is due to the interaction with the G(1)Pi(g) state. Band-by-band deperturbations of the G(1)Pi(g) approximately 2(1)Delta(g) (v(Pi), v(Delta)) = (11, 2), (12, 3), (15, 5), (16, 6), (18, 7), and (19, 8) bands have been performed. Deperturbed molecular constants and rotational-electronic interaction parameters are reported here. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

High-Resolution Study of the BaI A(2)Pi Electronic State

Near-infrared and visible spectra of the A(2)Pi-X(2)Sigma(+), C(2)Pi(1/2)-A(2)Pi(1/2), C(2)Pi(1/2)-B(2)Sigma(+), and C(2)Pi(1/2)-X(2)Sigma(+) band systems of the BaI molecule were recorded by using Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTS). The spectra were produced from the chemiluminescent reaction Ba + I(2) and also by using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique in which the laser sources were a Ti:sapphire single-mode laser, a dye single-mode laser, and a Kr(+) multimode ion laser.
