Fourier Transform Spectroscopy of the BaI Molecule: Simultaneous Analysis of Seven Electronic States Including the D(2)Sigma(+) and the G(2)Sigma(+) States.
In this work, the BaI D(2)Sigma(+) and G(2)Sigma(+) electronic states were investigated using laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) and Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTS). The LIF visible spectra were obtained by using the second harmonic of the Ti:sapphire single-mode laser and the Ar(+) and Kr(+) multimode lasers as excitation sources. Previously recorded data, taken from C. A. Leach, A. A. Tsekouras, and R. N. Zare (1992, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 153, 59-72) and from R. F. Gutterres, J. Vergès, and C. Amiot (1999, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 196, 29-44; 2000, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 200, 253-260; and 2000, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 201, 326-327) were combined with the present data. Accurate and improved molecular constants for the X(2)Sigma(+), B(2)Sigma(+), A('2)Delta, A(2)Pi, C(2)Pi, and D(2)Sigma(+) states and 16 term values of the G(2)Sigma(+) state were derived from a simultaneous treatment of the whole data set (12 684 transitions) with a standard deviation of 3.26x10(-3) cm(-1).
