The laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy of gold monoxide: B2Σ−－X2Π3/2 transition

The electronic spectrum of the gaseous gold monoxide molecule has been investigated in the range of 16000－18500?cm^?1 using laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy and single vibronic level emission spectra. Five rotationally resolved vibronic bands are observed and assigned to the transitions B²Σ^? (v'?=?0－4) －X²п_3/2 (v''?=?0), in which the 0－0 transition is observed for the first time. The molecular constants of the excited state B²Σ^? are obtained by a rotational analysis of the spectra. The spin-orbit coupling constant and the vibrational constants of the ground state X²п_i are determined with the accuracy improved by one order of magnitude. The lifetimes of most observed bands are also measured for the first time.     

Rotational Analysis of the 1–4 Band of the B 2Σ+–X 2Σ+ System of 14C16O+

ABSTRACT

High-resolution emission spectrum of the 1–4 band of the B ²Σ⁺–X ²Σ⁺ transition of ¹⁴C¹⁶O⁺ was observed for the first time by conventional emission spectroscopy. The band spectrum was excited in a water-cooled Geissler lamp filled with commercial gaseous carbon monoxide enriched in about 80% of the radiocarbon ¹⁴C. A rotational analysis has been carried out and obtained molecular constants have been merged with previously published data for the B ²Σ⁺–A ²Π_i and A ²Π_i–X ²Σ⁺ transitions. The principal equilibrium constants for the ground X ²Σ⁺ state obtained from this work are ω_e = 2121.7726(98), ω_e x _e = 13.9055(27), B _e = 1.815290(30), α_e = 1.6594(33) × 10^?2, and γ_e = ? 0.377(73) × 10^?4 cm^?1. Also, presently known experimental equilibrium molecular constants of the X ²Σ⁺ states of the CO⁺ isotopic molecules are summarized and isotopic dependence of the B _e and ω _e constants is discussed.

Ab initio configuration interaction study on the electronic structure of the X2Σ+, B2Σ+ and 32Σ+ states of SiO+

The energy levels and electronic structure of the X²Σ⁺, B²Σ⁺ and 3²Σ⁺ states of SiO⁺ are studied using ab initio configuration interaction (CI) calculations at and around their equilibrium internuclear distances R _e. Spectroscopic constants and the vertical excitation energy from the SiO⁺ X²Σ⁺ state are predicted for the 3²Σ⁺ state. Based on the calculated CI wavefunctions, avoided crossings of the potential energy curve for the 3²Σ⁺ state and a near-degeneracy effect in the avoided crossing region are examined. The effects of the mixing of excited configuration state functions in the total electronic wavefunctions for the 1–3 ²Σ⁺ states are investigated by analysing correlation energies in terms of the contributions from classes of excited configurations. The importance of both the near-degeneracy effect and the correlation energy effect in describing correctly the electronic structure of the 3 ²Σ⁺ state in the neighbourhood of its R _e is discussed.     

CP-violation effect in neutralino pair production in e+ −e− annihilation and the electric dipole moment of the electron

It is shown that in the supersymmetric extensions of the standard electroweak theory, the threshold behaviour of the cross section of production of two different neutralinos in e⁺ −e⁻ annihilation may be sensitive to the violation of CP invariance by the neutral gaugino-higgsino mass term. The corresponding CP violation effect may be substantial quite far from the threshold. A relation (although rather indirect) between the form of the behaviour of this section in the threshold region and the value of the electric dipole moment of the electron may exist.

The B 2Σ+–X 2Σ+ Transition of 12C17O+: The 2‐υ″ Progression

Abstract

Three new bands of the B ²Σ⁺–X ²Σ⁺ system of ¹²C¹⁷O⁺ have been investigated using conventional spectroscopic techniques. The spectra were observed in a graphite hollow‐cathode lamp by discharging molecular oxygen (enriched in about 45% of the ¹⁷O₂ isotope) under 1.0 Torr pressure. The rotational analysis of the 2–4, 2–5, and 2–6 bands was performed with the effective Hamiltonian of Brown (Brown et al., J. Mol. Spectrosc. 1979; 74: 294–318). Molecular constants were derived from a merge calculation, including both the current wavenumbers and the spectroscopic data published by the authors previously. The principal equilibrium constants for the ground state of ¹²C¹⁷O⁺ are ω_e=2185.9658(84), ω_e x _e = 14.7674(11), B _e=1.927001(38), α_e=1.8236(22)×10^?2, γ_e=?0.331(28)×10^?4, D _e=6.041(12)×10^?6, β_e=0.100(31)×10^?7 cm^?1, and the equilibrium constants for the excited state are σ_e=45876.499(15), ω_e=1712.201(12), ω_e x _e=27.3528(39), B _e=1.754109(35), α_e=2.8706(57)×10^?2, γ_e = ?1.15(19)×10^?4, D _e=7.491(20)×10^?6, β_e=2.13(12)×10^?7, γ_e = 2.0953(97)×10^?2, and α_γe=?9.46(59)×10^?4 cm^?1, respectively. Rydberg–Klein–Rees potential energy curves were constructed for the B ²Σ⁺ and X ²Σ⁺ states of this molecule, and Franck–Condon factors were calculated for the vibrational bands of the B–X system.     

State selective predissociation spectroscopy of hydrogen chloride ions (HCl+) via the A2Σ+ ← X2Π3/2 transition

The photodissociation of hydrogen chloride ions (HCl⁺) has been investigated through the A²Σ⁺ (ν′ = 6, 7 and 8) ← X ²Π_3/2 (ν″ = 0) transition. The spectra reveal that state selective photodissociation with complete resolution of the spin, orbital, and rotational angular momentum is possible in the A ²Σ⁺ (ν′ = 6) state. The analysis of these spectra yields the rotational and the spin-rotation coupling constant of the A ²Σ⁺ (ν′ = 6) state. The lifetime of HCl⁺ decreases significantly with increasing vibrational excitation in the ²Σ⁺ state. Within the experimental error limits no J dependence of the lifetime is observerd. The state selective photodissociation of the HCl⁺ ions is also shown to be a very sensitive probe for unexpected parity transitions in the 2 + 1 REMPI formation of the HCl⁺ ions in the X 2Π_3/2 (ν″ = 0) state.     

EPR study of Mn2+ doped nanocrystalline PbF2

Nanocrystalline samples of PbF2 doped with 0.05, 0.1, 0.4 and 1 mol% Mn2+, used as paramagnetic probe, were prepared by inert gas condensation technique. All the samples were vacuum annealed at different temperatures to get different grain sizes. The X-ray diffraction studies showed the dominant content of -PbF2 phase with a fractional quantity of -PbF2. Thermal stability and sublattice melting were studied by TGA and DSC respectively. EPR measurements were made on all these samples at 77 and 300 K. The EPR spectra of all samples were found to contain well resolved sextet arising from the Mn2+ ions that occupied the cubic sites of Pb2+ ion of PbF2 lattice. The lower concentration of the Mn2+ ions (0.05 and 0.1 mol%) clearly monitored the Pb2+ environment in the PbF2 lattice. The 0.4 mol% showed the presence of only the cubic sites with a minor concentration of the orthorhombic sites. The spectra corresponding to 1 mol% Mn2+ clearly showed two different components. The isotropic nature of the 1 mol% as-prepared sample implied that there was no cluster formation and hence this EPR spectrum was taken as the single ion spectrum. The annealed samples contain two spectral components; one is from the isolated single ions and the other one from the Mn2+ clusters. The spectral component of Mn2+ clusters was obtained by subtracting the spectrum for the as-prepared sample for the spectra of annealed samples. The extracted cluster phase spectra and the pure spectrum from the as-prepared sample were then combined to simulate the entire set of experimental spectra. The simulated spectra were found to be in good agreement with the experimental data. The g values obtained were in the range very close to the free electron g factor as the electrons are in the S state (L=0).     

Jet-cooled laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy of B2Σ+–X2Σ+ system of scandium monoxide: Improved molecular constants at equilibrium

The investigation on B²Σ⁺–X²Σ⁺ system of ScO was extended to higher vibrational levels by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy in a free-jet. We have observed rotationally resolved excitation spectra for (4,0), (3,0), (2,0), and (1,2) bands in addition to the previously observed (0,0) and (1,0) bands. The wavenumbers of these bands were fitted to a Hamiltonian matrix to determine the molecular constants for the vibrational levels up to ν′=4 of the B²Σ⁺ state and ν″=2 of the X²Σ⁺ state. In addition, the vibration constants of the ground states were determined from the dispersed fluorescence wavenumbers between B²Σ⁺ (ν′=0–4) and X²Σ⁺ (ν″=0–8) transitions. The equilibrium molecular constants, derived from the extensive set of molecular constants for individual vibrational levels, were used to construct RKR potential energy curves for both the electronic states. The Franck–Condon factors were also calculated for the B²Σ⁺–X²Σ⁺ transition.     

Measurement of the electric dipole moment of NO (X2 Π ν = 0,1) by mid-infrared laser magnetic resonance spectroscopy

A pair of parallel Stark plates are added to a CO laser magnetic resonance spectrometer to apply electric field in the absorption cell. This apparatus is used to measure the molecular electric dipole moment via Zeeman and Stark effects simultaneously. The saturated absorption spectra of NO (X²Π_3/2, ν = 1 ← 0) was observed and the electric dipole moments of NO were directly measured in the presence of an electric field. The dipole moments are determined as μ₀(ν = 0) = 0.1595(15) D, μ₁ (ν = 1) = 0.1425(16) D. The electric dipole moment of the vibrationally excited state (ν = 1) is determined for the first time. The dependence of the electric dipole moments on its nuclear distances is interpreted.     

Rovibrational transition properties of the X1Σ+ and A1Π states of carbon monosulfide

Carbon monosulfide was detected in outer space by rovibrational spectroscopy of the X ¹Σ⁺ state and A ¹Π – X ¹Σ⁺ system. This work calculated the potential energy curves and dipole moment functions of the X ¹Σ⁺ ₀₊ and A ¹Π₁ states, and computed the transition dipole moments between the two states employing the CASSCF method, followed by the valence icMRCI approach. Core-valence correlation and scalar relativistic corrections were included. The extrapolation of potential energies to the complete basis set limit was performed. The spin-orbit coupling effect was included. The Einstein A coefficients, band origins, and oscillator strengths were calculated for the rovibrational transitions when J?≤?150. The rovibrational transitions of the X ¹Σ⁺ ₀₊ and A ¹Π₁ states became very weak when Δυ?≥?6. The Einstein A coefficients of vibronic emissions of the A ¹Π₁ – X ¹Σ⁺ ₀₊ system were large, indicating that the emissions were able to be measured easily through spectroscopy. Several rovibrational transitions of the A ¹Π₁ – X ¹Σ⁺ ₀₊ system were analysed in detail. The distribution of radiative lifetime varying as rotational quantum number was calculated. The results obtained in this work agree well with the available experimental values.     

Transition probabilities of the X1Σ+, A1Π, B1Δ, C1Σ+, and D1Π states of the AlO+ cation

ABSTRACT

This study computes the potential energy curves of the X¹Σ⁺, A¹Π, B¹Δ, C¹Σ⁺, and D¹Π states of AlO⁺ cation and the transition dipole moments between them. The orders of the rotationless radiative lifetimes are 10–100?μs for the A¹Π state, 1–1000?ms for the B¹Δ state, 10?ns for the first well and 100?ns for the second well of the C¹Σ⁺ state, and 1?μs for the D¹Π state. Emissions of the B¹Δ–A¹Π and D¹Π–C¹Σ⁺ systems are so weak that they are hardly measured via spectroscopy, the emissions of the C¹Σ⁺–X¹Σ⁺, C¹Σ⁺–A¹Π, and D¹Π–X¹Σ⁺ systems are so strong that they can be detected readily, and emissions of the A¹Π–X¹Σ⁺ and D¹Π–A¹Π systems can be observed through spectroscopy only by a significant effort. There is a strong great similarity between spontaneous emissions of the A¹Π–X¹Σ⁺ system of the AlO⁺ cation and the A²Π–X²Σ⁺ system of the AlO radical. The emissions of the A²Π–X²Σ⁺ system of the AlO radical have been measured in outer space Therefore, it is highly possible that the emissions of the A¹Π–X¹Σ⁺ system of the AlO⁺ cation can be detected in the astrophysical media.
