(2+1) Resonance Enhanced Ionization Spectroscopy Of A State Selected Beam Of Oh Radicals, Margaret E. Greenslade, Marsha I. Lester, Dragana C. Radenovic, Andre J.A. Van Roij, David H. Parker

Chemistry

A state-selected beam of hydroxyl radicals is generated using a pulsed discharge source and hexapole field. The OH radicals are characterized by resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy via the nested D  and 3  Rydberg states. Simplified spectra are observed from the selected ∣MJ∣ = 3/2 component of the upper Λ-doublet level of the lowest rotational state (J = 3/2) in ground (v″ = 0) and excited(v″ = 1–3) vibrational levels of the OH X  state. Two-photon transitions are observed to the D (v′ = 0–3) and 3 (v′ …


Fluorescence-Dip Infrared Spectroscopy And Predissociation Dynamics Of Oh A (V=4) Radicals, Erika L. Derro, Ilana B. Pollack, Logan P. Dempsey, Margaret E. Greenslade, Yuxiu Lei, Dragana C. Radenovic, Marsha I. Lester Jun 2005

Fluorescence-Dip Infrared Spectroscopy And Predissociation Dynamics Of Oh A (V=4) Radicals, Erika L. Derro, Ilana B. Pollack, Logan P. Dempsey, Margaret E. Greenslade, Yuxiu Lei, Dragana C. Radenovic, Marsha I. Lester

Chemistry

Fluorescence-dip infrared spectroscopy, an UV-IR double-resonance technique, is employed to characterize the line positions, linewidths, and corresponding lifetimes of highly predissociative rovibrational levels of the excited A  electronic state of the OH radical. Various lines of the 4←2 overtone transition in the excited A  state are observed, from which the rotational, centrifugal distortion, and spin-rotation constants for the A  (v = 4) state are determined, along with the vibrational frequency for the overtone transition. Homogeneous linewidths of 0.23–0.31 cm−1 full width at half maximum are extracted from the line profiles, demonstrating that the N = …
