Fourier transform spectroscopy and coupled-channel deperturbation treatment of the A1Sigma+ ~ b3Pi complex of KCs molecule
The laser induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra A1Sigma ~ b3Pi --> X1Sigma+ of KCs dimer were recorded in near infrared region by Fourier Transform Spectrometer with a resolution of 0.03 cm-1. Overall more than 200 LIF spectra were rotationally assigned to 39K133Cs and 41K133Cs isotopomers yielding with the uncertainty of 0.003-0.01 cm-1 more than 3400 rovibronic term values of the strongly mixed singlet A1Sigma+ and triplet b3Pi states. Experimental data massive starts from the lowest vibrational level v_A=0 of the singlet and nonuniformly cover the energy range from 10040 to 13250 cm-1 with rotational quantum numbers J from 7 to 225. Besides of the dominating regular A1Sigma+ ~ b3P Omega=…
Energy and radiative properties of the (3)1{\Pi} and (5)1{\Sigma}+ states of RbCs: Experiment and theory
We combined high-resolution Fourier-transform spectroscopy and large-scale electronic structure calculation to study energy and radiative properties of the high-lying (3)1{\Pi} and (5)1{\Sigma}+ states of the RbCs molecule. The laser-induced (5)1{\Sigma}+(4)1{\Sigma}+(3)1{\Pi}-A(2)1{\Sigma}+ b(1)3{\Pi} fluorescence (LIF) spectra were recorded by the Bruker IFS-125(HR) spectrometer in the frequency range {\nu} 5500 to 10000cm-1 with the instrumental resolution of 0.03 cm-1. The rotational assignment of the observed LIF progressions, which exhibit irregular vibrational-rotational spacing due to strong spin-orbit interaction between A1{\Sigma}+ and b3(\Pi) states was based on the coincidences …
Fourier transform spectroscopy, relativistic electronic structure calculation, and coupled-channel deperturbation analysis of the fully mixed $A^1\Sigma^+_u$ and $b^3\Pi_u$ states of Cs$_2$
The 4503 rovibronic term values belonging to the mutually perturbed $A^1\Sigma^+_u$ and $b^3\Pi_u$ states of Cs$_2$ were extracted from laser induced fluorescence (LIF) $A\sim b\rightarrow X^1\Sigma^+_g$ Fourier transform spectra with the 0.01 cm$^{-1}$ uncertainty. The experimental term values of the $A^1\Sigma^+_u\sim b^3\Pi_u$ complex covering the rotational levels $J\in [4,395]$ in the excitation energy range $[9655,13630]$ cm$^{-1}$ were involved into coupled-channel (CC) deperturbation analysis. The deperturbation model takes explicitly into account spin-orbit coupling of the $A^1\Sigma^+_u(A0^+_u)$ and $b^3\Pi^+_{0_u}(b0^+_u)$ states as well as spin-rotational interaction between the…
Level-crossing spectroscopy of the 7, 9, and 10D_5/2 states of 133Cs and validation of relativistic many-body calculations of the polarizabilities and hyperfine constants
We present an experimental and theoretical investigation of the polarizabilities and hyperfine constants of D_J states in 133Cs for J=3/2 and J=5/2. New experimental values for the hyperfine constant A are obtained from level-crossing signals of the (7,9,10)D_5/2 states of 133Cs and precise calculations of the tensor polarizabilities alpha_2. The results of relativistic many-body calculations for scalar and tensor polarizabilities of the (5-10)D_3/2 and (5-10)D_5/2 states are presented and compared with measured values from the literature. Calculated values of the hyperfine constants A for these states are also presented and checked for consistency with experimental values.
On Oscillation Theorem for Two-Component Schrodinger Equation
Conventional one-dimensional oscillation theorem is found to be violated for multi-component Schr\"{o}dinger equations in a general case while for two-component eigenstates coupled by the sign-constant potential operator the following statements are valid: (1) the ground state ($v = 0$) is not degenerate; and (2) the arithmetic mean of nodes $n_1$, $n_2$ for the two-component wavefunction never exceeds the ordering number $v$ of eigenstate: $(n_1 + n_2)/2\leq v$.

Global analysis of data on the spin-orbit coupled $A^{1}\Sigma_{u}^{+}$ and $b^{3}\Pi_{u}$ states of Cs2
We present experimentally derived potential curves and spin-orbit interaction functions for the strongly perturbed $A^{1}\Sigma_{u}^{+}$ and $b^{3}\Pi_{u}$ states of the cesium dimer. The results are based on data from several sources. Laser-induced fluorescence Fourier transform spectroscopy (LIF FTS) was used some time ago in the Laboratoire Aim\'{e} Cotton primarily to study the $X ^{1}\Sigma_{g}^{+}$ state. More recent work at Tsinghua University provides information from moderate resolution spectroscopy on the lowest levels of the $b^{3}\Pi_{0u}^{\pm}$ states as well as additional high resolution data. From Innsbruck University, we have precision data obtained with cold Cs$_{2}$ molecu…
Identification of Deeply Bound Heteronuclear Molecules Using Pulsed Laser Depletion Spectroscopy
We demonstrate that a near-dissociation photoassociation resonance can be used to create a deeply bound molecular sample of ultracold NaCs. To probe the resulting vibrational distribution of the sample, we use a new technique that can be applied to any ultracold molecular system. We utilize a tunable pulsed dye laser to produce efficient spectroscopic scans ($\sim700$ cm$^{-1}$ at a time) in which we observe the $1^{1} \Sigma^{+}\rightarrow 2^{1}\Sigma^{+}-2^{3}\Pi$ vibrational progression, as well as the dissociation limit to the Cs 6$^{2}$P$_{3/2}$ asymptote. We assign $1^{1} \Sigma^{+}$$(\emph{v}$ = 4, 5, 6, 11, 19) vibrational levels in our sample.
The coupling of the X$^{1}\Sigma ^{+}$ and a$^{3}\Sigma ^{+}$ states of KRb
A comprehensive study of the electronic states at the 4s+5s asymptote in KRb is presented. Abundant spectroscopic data on the \astate state were collected by Fourier-transform spectroscopy which allow to determine an accurate experimental potential energy curve up to 14.8 \AA . The existing data set (C. Amiot et al. J. Chem. Phys. 112, 7068 (2000)) on the ground state \Xstate was extended by several additional levels lying close to the atomic asymptote. In a coupled channels fitting routine complete molecular potentials for both electronic states were fitted. Along with the line frequencies of the molecular transitions, recently published positions of Feshbach resonances in $^{40}$K and $^{…
Ab initio multi-reference perturbation theory calculations of the ground and low-lying electronic states of the KRb molecule
The potential energy curves of the low-lying electronic states correlating up to the limit K(4p) + Rb(5s) of KRb molecule have been calculated using the multi-reference perturbation theory method at the CASSCF/ XMCQDPT2 level of theory without and with spin–orbit coupling. The calculated parameters of the ground X 1 R + state are in the best agreement among all previously performed ab initio calculations for the KRb molecule. The calculated vibrational intervals of the ground electronic term of the 39 K 85 Rb molecule describe the experiment with the accuracy within ±1 cm ?1 . The calculated intensities of the 2 1 R + (v 0 = 3, J 0 = 26) ? X 1 R + (v 00 = 0...24, J 00 = 25, 27) transitions …
Spectra of a Holmium in the near-UV. I. Ho I.
The Fourier Transform spectra of a Holmium hollow cathode discharge lamp have been investigated in the UV spectral range from 25000 up to 31530cm^-1^ (317 to 400nm). Two Ho spectra have been measured with neon and argon as buffer gases. Based on the intensity ratios from these two spectra, a distinction was made between atomic and ionic lines (ionic lines are discussed in an accompanying paper). Using the known Ho I energy levels, 71 lines could be classified as transitions of atomic Ho, 34 of which have not been published previously. Another 32 lines, which could not be classified, are listed in the literature and assigned as atomic Ho. An additional 370 spectral lines have been assigned t…
Spectra of a Holmium in the near-UV. II.
Fourier Transform spectra of Holmium (Ho) in the UV spectral range from 31530 to 25000cm^-1^ (317 to 400nm) have been investigated, particularly focusing on the ionic lines. The distinction between the different degrees of ionization (I, II, and III) is based on differences in signal-to-noise ratios from two Ho spectra, which have been measured with different buffer gases, i.e., neon and argon. Based on 106 known Ho II and 126 known Ho III energy levels, 97 lines could be classified as transitions of singly ionized Ho and 9 lines could be classified as transitions of doubly ionized Ho. Of the 97 Ho II lines, 6 have not been listed in the extant literature. Another 215 lines have been assign…
