Resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization via the EF 1Σg+, v′ = 6 double-well state has been used to probe the energy region below the third dissociation limit of H2 where several high vibrational levels of the 41Σu+ state are expected. Theoretical ab initio potential energy curves for this state predict a deep inner well and shallow outer well where vibrational levels above v = 8 are expected to exhibit the double-well character of the state. Since the 41Σu+ state has f-state character, transitions to it from the …


Double Resonance Spectroscopy Of The D1Πu+ And B''B-Bar 1Σu+ States Near The Third Dissociation Threshold Of H2, R. C. Ekey, A. E. Cordova, W. Duan, Alexander M. Chartrand, Elizabeth Mccormack Nov 2013

Double Resonance Spectroscopy Of The D1Πu+ And B''B-Bar 1Σu+ States Near The Third Dissociation Threshold Of H2, R. C. Ekey, A. E. Cordova, W. Duan, Alexander M. Chartrand, Elizabeth Mccormack

Physics Faculty Research and Scholarship

Double-resonance laser spectroscopy via the E, F 1Σg+, v' = 6, J' state was used to probe the energy region below the third dissociation limit of molecular hydrogen. Resonantly enhanced multi-photon ionization spectra were recorded by detecting ion production as a function of energy using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Energies and line widths for the v = 14–17 levels of the D1Πu+ state of H2 are reported and compared to experimental data obtained by using VUV synchrotron light excitation (Dickenson et al. 2010 J. Chem. Phys. 133 144317) and fully ab …
