Fourier-transform spectroscopy and relativistic electronic structure calculation on the $c^3��^+$ state of KCs

The Ti:Saphire laser operated within 13800 - 11800 cm$^{-1}$ range was used to excite the $c^3��^+$ state of KCs molecule directly from the ground $X^1��^+$ state. The laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra of the $c^3��^+ \rightarrow a^3��^+$ transition were recorded with Fourier-transform spectrometer within 8000 to 10000 cm$^{-1}$ range. Overall 673 rovibronic term values belonging to both $e/f$-components of the $c^3��^+(��=1^{\pm})$ state of $^{39}$KCs, covering vibrational levels from $v$ = 0 to about 45, and rotational levels $J\in [11,149]$ were determined with the accuracy of about 0.01 cm$^{-1}$; among them 7 values for $^{41}$KCs. The experimental term values with $v\in [0,22]$…
