Abstract

The A(1)Pi - X(1)Sigma (+) and B(1)Sigma (+) - X(1)Sigma (+) transitions of copper monobromide, CuBr, were recorded with a Fourier transform spectrometer. The emission was generated by using a hollow cathode discharge of Ar buffer gas and a mixture of Cu and CuBr powders. The mass-dependent Dunham expansion formula was used to obtain improved molecular constants for the ground, A and B states. These molecular constants provided RKR potential curves and Franck-Condon factors for the A-X and B-X transitions.
