INFRARED PREDISSOCIATION SPECTRUM OF HENE+

One hundred and seven transitions of the HeNe+ ion have been observed using the technique of infrared predissociation spectroscopy. Seventy-eight of the lines have been assigned to rotational components of the A22Π 1 2 -X2Σ+ system. Our analysis leads to a modification of the assignment of the B2Σ+...

Description
Summary:One hundred and seven transitions of the HeNe+ ion have been observed using the technique of infrared predissociation spectroscopy. Seventy-eight of the lines have been assigned to rotational components of the A22Π 1 2 -X2Σ+ system. Our analysis leads to a modification of the assignment of the B2Σ+ -X2Σ+ bands of the optical emission spectrum. The predissociation mechanism is unusual in that there are no potential curve crossings between the predissociating state and the perturbing states. Predissociation lifetimes have been calculated for the individual levels and are compared with those obtained from the obserbed spectroscope linewidths. © 1985.
