Fluorescence spectra, diatomic

The excited molecules normally release their energy by spontaneous emission of fluorescence, terminating not only in the initial ground state but on all vibronic levels of lower electronic states to which transitions are allowed. This causes a fluorescence spectrum which consists, for instance, in the case of an excited singlet state in a diatomic molecule, of a progression of either single lines (A/ = 0 named Q-lines) or of doublets (A7 = 1 P- and i -lines) ... [Pg.20]

The fluorescence spectrum emitted from selectively excited molecular levels of a diatomic molecule is therefore very simple compared with a spectrum obtained under broadband excitation. It consists of a progression of vibrational bands where each band has at most three rotational lines. Figure 1.52 illustrates this by two fluorescence spectra of the Na2 molecule, excited by two different argon laser lines. While the X = 488 nm line excites a positive A component in the (v = 3, J = 43) level, which emits only Q lines, the X = 476.5 nm line populates the negative A component in the (v = 6, J = 27) level of the 77 state, resulting in P and R lines. [Pg.67]

S. Landau and E. Stenz examined the effect of low temp, and dissociation on the fluorescence of iodine vapour at low press. Fluorescence decreases as the temp, is raised, but does not cease at 800°. Dissociation destroys both fluorescence and the resonance spectra. It is therefore inferred that the complex vibrating system is not inherent in the atom, but in the molecule that the structure of the atom is relatively simple and that, in all probability, the absorption lines which are so characteristic of diatomic iodine and so sensitive to the action of monochromatic light, do not belong to the absorption spectrum of monatomic iodine. [Pg.63]

If one adopts the correct point of view that the complete wave function of any state of a diatomic molecule has contributions from all other states of that molecule, one can understand that all degrees of perturbation and hence probabilities of crossover may be met in practice. If the perturbation by the repulsive or dissociating state is very small, the mean life of the excited molecule before dissociation may be sufficiently long to permit the absorption spectrum to be truly discrete. Dissociation may nevertheless occur before the mean radiative lifetime has been reached so that fluorescence will not be observed. Predissociation spectra may therefore show all gradations from continua through those with remnants of vibrational transitions to discrete spectra difficult to distinguish from those with no predissociation. In a certain sense photochemical data may contribute markedly to the interpretation of spectra. [Pg.27]

The diatomic yttrium halides have been the topic of both ab initio and experimental studies. Fischell et al. (1980) have studied the excitation spectra of the YCl diatomic molecule using the laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) method. More recently, Xin et al. (1991) have studied the B ri-X system of YCl in high resolution. The rotational analysis of the observed bands has yielded very accurate molecular constants for the X and B states of YCl. Shirley et al. (1990) have studied the molecular-beam optical Stark spectrum of the B n(t = 0)-X (t = 0) band system of YF. The permanent dipole moment and the magnetic hyperfine parameter a for the B n state have been determined as 2.96(4) D and 146.8(3) MHz, respectively. The dipole moment of the X S state was determined as 1.82(8)D. More recently, Shirley et al. (1991) have employed the molecular-beam millimeter-wave optical pump-probe spectroscopy to study pure rotational transitions of the YF ground state. This study has yielded improved ground-state rotational constants as B = 8683.65(1) MHz and D = 0.0079(2)-MHz, respectively. [Pg.103]
