Spectroscopic Constants, Lifetimes And Predissociation Rates For Bi2A(0+U), Michael W. Dolezal
Spectroscopic Constants, Lifetimes And Predissociation Rates For Bi2A(0+U), Michael W. Dolezal
Theses and Dissertations
More than 100,000 spectral features from a Bi2(X1 Σ+g → A(0+u)) absorption spectrum, encompassing 0 ≤ v' ≤ 91, 0 ≤ v" ≤ 7 and J2(A). Ground state constants, reported by Barrow et al. [1], remain unchanged. The new constants are used to redefine the A-state potential using traditional RKR methods and to set the dissociation energy at De = 29,913 cm"1, which correlates A-state dissociation products to 4S + 2D atoms. A pulsed dye laser apparatus was used to obtain lifetime data for Bi2A(0+u) …
