Fourier transform emission spectroscopy of the F-4 Delta-X-4 phi system of TiF

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The emission spectra of TiF have been reinvestigated in the 4200-15000 cm(-1) region using the Fourier transform spectrometer associated with the National Solar Observatory at Kitt Peak. TiF was formed in a microwave discharge lamp operated with 2.5 Torr of He and a trace of TiF4 vapor, and the spectra were recorded at a resolution of 0.02 cm(-1). The TiF bands observed in the 12000-14000 cm(-1) region have been assigned to a new transition, F(4)Delta-X(4)Phi. Each band consists of four sub-bands assigned as, (4)Delta(1/2)-(4)Phi(3/2), (4)Delta(3/2)-(4)Phi(5/2), (4)Delta(5/2)-(4)Phi(7/2), and (4)Delta(7/2)-(4)Phi(9/2). A rotational analysis of the 0-1, 0-0, and 1-0 bands has been obtained and spectroscopic constants have been extracted. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
