Radiative And Predissociative Lifetimes Of The A²Σ⁺ State Of Oh, Robert Allen Sutherland
Radiative And Predissociative Lifetimes Of The A²Σ⁺ State Of Oh, Robert Allen Sutherland
Doctoral Dissertations
"Lifetime measurements have been made on the A²Σ⁺ state of OH by the delayed coincidence technique in conjunction with an interrupted rf discharge through water vapor. Lifetimes are reported for rotational states up to K = 29 and K = 20 in the v = 0 and v = 1 vibrational levels respectively and on the unresolved levels of v =2. A predissociation, previously predicted from relative intensity measurements, resulting from a curve crossing by the repulsive 4 Σˉ state, was observed for the rotational states above K = 23 of v = 0, for those above K = 14 …
