Multichannel quantum defect analysis of the double resonance photoionization series of H2O
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new analysis is presented of the recent photoionization spectrum of H2O, excited by double resonance via several rotational sublevels of the ~100! vibrational level of the C̃(B1) state. Evidence for a previously unsuspected strong f series indicates significant d orbital contamination of the nominal p orbital in the intermediate state. This is the first report of an f series in the Rydberg state of any asymmetric top. Previous d series analyses of single-photon photoionization spectra terminating on the ~100! level of H2O 1 are also corrected and extended to a wider range of excited rotational electronic states. The d series appears to contain absent lines, indicative of predissociation. Some lines remain unassigned, but there is no systematic evidence of either s or p series. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-9606~00!01408-2#

R-matrix propagation with adiabatic bases for the photoionization spectra of atoms in magnetic fields
The photoionization spectrum of an atom in a magnetic field is calculated by combining R-matrix propagation with local adiabatic basis expansions. This approach considerably increases the speed and the energy range over which calculations can be performed compared to previous methods, allowing one to obtain accurate partial and total cross sections over an extended energy range for an arbitrary...

The rotationally resolved photoionization yields of jet-cooled HCl and DC1 have been measured in the energy range between their spin-orbit split 211 ionic thresholds. For single-photon excitation, narrow-band vuv radiation is generated by resonant frequency mixing. The spectra are complex due to an interaction of autoionizing resonances belonging to series converging to different rotational sta...

متن کاملAutoionizing Rydberg states of NO in strong electric fields
We report on an investigation on autoionization of Rydberg electrons of the nitric oxide molecule in strong, static electric fields. The excitation was done via various rotational states of the A S intermediate state (v850) and with polarization parallel or perpendicular to the electric field. The splitting of the autoionizing Rydberg states into overlapping Stark manifolds is resolved for exci...
متن کاملSpectrum of the autoionizing triplet gerade Rydberg states of H2 and its analysis using multichannel quantum-defect theory.
A new spectrum of the autoionizing triplet states of gerade symmetry of H2 has been recorded from the υ″ = 1–4, N″ = 1–3 rovibrational levels of the metastable c 3Π(u)– state in a supersonic beam. The spectrum consists of overlapping ns and nd Rydberg series with n in the range between 4 and 45 converging to the υ+ = 1–4, N+ = 0–5 levels of the X+ 2Σ(g)+ ground state of H2+. Numerous perturbati...
