| Summary: | A new 2Σ+-X2Σ+ transition in MgH has been found in emission. The upper state of this system lies lower in energy than any of the previously identified excited 2Σ+ states of MgH. The 2Σ+ state is relatively weakly bound at large internuclear distance. This discovery allows a reinterpretation to be made of the MgH electronic state manifold and its correlation with the states of the separated atoms and provides an explanation for some puzzling and long-standing observations in the MgH electronic spectrum. © 1975. |
