چکیده

Earlier high-resolution spectroscopic studies of the fine and hyperfine structure of rovibrational levels of the 1 3delta state of NaK have been extended to include high lying rovibrational levels with v < or = 59, of which the highest levels lie within approximately 4 cm(-1) of the dissociation limit. A potential curve is determined using the inverted perturbation approximation method that reproduces these levels to an accuracy of approximately 0.026 cm(-1). For the largest values of v, the outer turning points occur near R approximately 12.7 angstroms, which is sufficiently large to permit the estimation of the C6 coefficient for this state. The fine and hyperfine structure of the 1 3delta rovibrational levels has been fit using the matrix diagonalization method that has been applied to other states of NaK, leading to values of the spin-orbit coupling constant A(v) and the Fermi contact constant b(F). New values determined for v < or = 33 are consistent with values determined by a simpler method and reported earlier. The measured fine and hyperfine structure for v in the range 44 < or = v < or = 49 exhibits anomalous behavior whose origin is believed to be the mixing between the 1 3delta and 1 1delta states. The matrix diagonalization method has been extended to treat this interaction, and the results provide an accurate representation of the complicated patterns that arise. The analysis leads to accurate values for A(v) and b(F) for all values of v < or = 49. For higher v (50 < or = v < or = 59), several rovibrational levels have been assigned, but the pattern of fine and hyperfine structure is difficult to interpret. Some of the observed features may arise from effects not included in the current model.

Nonadiabatic coupling in the 3 3 and 4 3 states of NaK

The excited 3 3 and 4 3 electronic states of the NaK molecule exhibit an avoided crossing, leading to the anomalous behavior of many features of the rovibrational energy levels belonging to each state. A joint experimental and theoretical investigation of these states has been carried out. Experimental measurements of the vibrational, rotational, and hyperfine structure of numerous levels of th...

Experimental study of the NaK 3 3Pi double minimum state.

We have used the Doppler-free, perturbation-facilitated optical-optical double-resonance technique to investigate the vibrational, rotational, and hyperfine structure of the 3 (3)Pi double minimum state of NaK. Since this electronic state arises from an avoided crossing with the nearby 4 (3)Pi state, we observe striking patterns in the data that provide a sensitive probe of the electronic wave ...

spin–orbit interaction

We have measured the hyperfine structure of mutually perturbing rovibrational levels of the 1sbd P0 and 2sAd S states of the NaK molecule, using the perturbation-facilitated optical-optical double resonance method with copropagating lasers. The unperturbed 1sbd P0 levels are split into four hyperfine components by the Fermi contact interaction bFI ·S. Mixing between the 1sbd P0 and 2sAd S level...
