Molecular beam optical Stark study of the [18.1] (2)Pi(12)-X (4)Sigma(12) (-) band system of rhodium monosulfide.
The optical Stark effect in the (R)R(13)(0.5) branch feature of the [18.1] (2)Pi(12)-X (4)Sigma(12) (-) (v('),v(")=0) band of rhodium monosulfide (RhS) has been recorded and analyzed to determine the permanent electric dipole moment mu(e) of 3.40(2) D for the ground X (4)Sigma(12) (-) (v=0) state and an upper limit of 1.5 D for the [18.1] (2)Pi(12) state. Molecular orbital correlation diagrams are used to interpret the relative values of mu(e) for RhN, RhO, and RhS. The (103)Rh(I=12) magnetic hyperfine interaction in the X (4)Sigma(12) (-) and [18.1] (2)Pi(12) states is analyzed.
