Forbidden Vibrational Transitions in Cold Molecular Ions: Experimental Observation and Potential Applications.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A range of interesting fundamental scientific questions can be addressed by high-precision molecular spectroscopy. A promising way towards this goal is the measurement of dipole-forbidden vibrational transitions in molecular ions. We have recently reported the first such observation in a molecular ion. Here, we give an overview of our method and our results as well as an outlook on potential future applications.

Experimental Potential Functions for Open and Closed Shell Molecular Ions: Adiabatic and Nonadiabatic Corrections in X32- OH+ and X’Z+ ArH+
We have measured 43 transitions in the pure rotational and fundamental vibrational spectra of “OH+. These data, together with all ground state transitions and combination differences of OD+ and 160H’ available from the literature, have been fit to an explicitly internuclear distance dependent rovibrational Hamiltonian to yield several descriptions of the OH+ potential function. Significant adia...
متن کاملObservation of the v ′ = 8 ← v = 0 vibrational overtone in cold trapped HD +
We report the observation of the hitherto undetected v′ = 8 ← v = 0 vibrational overtone in trapped HD+ molecular ions, sympathetically cooled by laser-cooled Be+ ions. The overtone is excited using 782 nm laser radiation, after which HD+ ions in v = 8 are photodissociated by the 313 nm laser used for Be+ cooling. The concomitant loss of HD+ is detected by the method of secular excitation (Roth...
متن کاملObservation of vibrational overtones by single-molecule resonant photodissociation
Molecular ions can be held in a chain of laser-cooled atomic ions by sympathetic cooling. This system is ideal for performing high-precision molecular spectroscopy with applications in astrochemistry and fundamental physics. Here we show that this same system can be coupled with a broadband laser to discover new molecular transitions. We use three-ion chains of Ca(+) and CaH(+) to observe vibra...
متن کاملInfrared vibrational and electronic transitions in the dibenzopolyacene family.
We report experimental spectra in the mid-infrared (IR) and near-IR for a series of dibenzoacenes isolated in Ar matrices. The experiments are supported by Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time-Dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations with both vibrational and electronic transitions studied. For the neutrals, we find good agreement between the experimental and B3LYP and BP86 results for all speci...
متن کاملMolecular vibrational states in the binary cold fission of 252 Cf
We predict a molecular vibrational state in the cold binary fission of 252 Cf using a simple decay cluster model. The Hamiltonian of two even-even fragments in the pole-pole configuration is built in the same fashion as that for the dinuclear molecule formed in heavy-ions collisions. The interaction between the two fragments is described by the double-folding M3Y potential. The spectrum of the ...
