Infrared laser spectra of HF and DF

The six lowest states, dissociating into the $\text{(}{}^2\text{P)}\text{Al}\text{(}{}^4\text{S)}\text{N}$ and $\text{(}{}^2\text{P)}\text{Al}\text{(}{}^2\text{D)}\text{N}$ atomic states, are calculated using a nonempirical pseudopotential for the representation of the atomic cores and an extensive CI. The ground state is assigned as ³Π, but the ¹Σ⁺ and ³Σ^? minima are less than 0.5 eV higher. The results are compared with the few experimental data.
