Gerade / ungerade symmetry - breaking in HD at the n = 2 dissociation limit

چکیده
We report on a study of the I ′ 5g outer well state of HD. Via a resonance-enhanced XUV + IR (extreme ultraviolet + infrared) excitation scheme, rovibronic levels (v = 0–2, J = 1–4) are populated and probed by pulsed lasers. Level energies are measured with an accuracy of ≈0.03 cm−1. Due to gerade–ungerade symmetry breaking, the long-range behavior of the I ′ potential in HD deviates from that of H2 and D2. When this deviation is taken into account a semi-empirical potential for the I ′ 5g state may be constructed, resulting in better agreement with the observed level energies than derived from an adiabatic ab initio potential. With this new potential it is predicted that the I ′ well can sustain only 4 vibrational levels, with the v = 3 level having a binding energy of ≈1.38(3) cm−1. PACS Nos.: 33.80.Rv, 34.20.Cf, 33.20.Ni, 31.50.+w Résumé : Nous étudions ici l’état I ′ 5g de la molécule HD. Via une méthode d’excitation augmentée d’une résonance XUV-IR (ultraviolet lointain et infrarouge), nous peuplons les états de rotation-vibration (v = 0–2, J = 1–4) que nous sondons par laser pulsé. L’énergie laser est mesurée avec une précision ≈0.03 cm−1. À cause du bris de symétrie gauche–droite, la partie longue portée du potentiel I ′ de HD diffère des cas H2 et D2. Tenant compte de cette déviation, il est possible de construire un potentiel semi-empirique pour l’état I ′ 5g, résultant en un meilleur accord avec la valeur observée qu’en utilisant un potentiel postulé adiabatique dès le départ. Avec ce nouveau potentiel, nous prédisons que le puits I ′ ne peut avoir que quatre (4) états vibrationnels, l’état v = 3 ayant une énergie d’environ ≈1.38(3) cm−1. [Traduit par la rédaction]

Symmetry-dependent vibrational excitation in N 1s photoionization of N2: experiment and theory.
We have measured the vibrational structures of the N 1s photoelectron mainline and satellites of the gaseous N2 molecule with the resolution better than 75 meV. The gerade and ungerade symmetries of the core-ionized (mainline) states are resolved energetically, and symmetry-dependent angular distributions for the satellite emission allow us to resolve the Sigma and Pi symmetries of the shake-up...
متن کاملGerade-ungerade mixing in the hydrogen molecule
In homonuclear molecules, such as H2, the rovibrational levels close to the dissociation threshold do not have definite symmetry with respect to the inversion of electronic variables. This effect—the gerade–ungerade mixing—results from interactions between magnetic moments of electrons and protons. We calculate this mixing on the level of adiabatic approximation and numerically solve the system...

The dependence of the spin-orbit-coupling constant of the six low-lying electronic states of Ar2(+) and Kr2(+) on the internuclear distance R has been calculated ab initio. The spin-orbit-coupling constant varies by about 10% over the range of internuclear distances relevant for the interpretation of the high-resolution photoelectron spectra of Ar2 and Kr2 and can be accurately represented by a...
متن کاملChiral Symmetry Breaking in Strongly Coupled Qed?
The coupled system of renormalized Dyson-Schwinger equations for the electron self-energy and the photon propagator are supplied with the tree level vertex as Ansatz for the renormalized three point function. The system is investigated numerically. In the case of a massive electron, the theory is " weakly renormalizable " , i.e. cutoff independent for values of the cutoff below an upper limit. ...

We study chiral symmetry breaking in quenched strong-coupling QED4 in arbitrary covariant gauge within the Dyson-Schwinger equation formalism. A recently developed numerical renormalization program is fully implemented. Results are compared for three different fermion-photon proper vertex Ansätze : bare γ, minimal Ball-Chiu, and Curtis-Pennington. The procedure is straightforward to implement a...
