The permanent electric dipole moment of calcium monodeuteride.
The sub-Doppler laser induced fluorescence spectra of numerous branch features in the B 2Sigma+ -X 2Sigma+(0,0) band of calcium monodeuteride were recorded field-free and in the presence of a static electric field of up to 7 kV/cm. The field-free spectra were analyzed to produce an improved set of fine structure parameters for the B 2Sigma+(v=0) state. The observed electric field induced splittings and shifts were analyzed to produce permanent electric dipole moments of 2.57(3) and 2.51(3) D for B 2Sigma+(v=0) and X 2Sigma+(v=0) states, respectively. The permanent electric dipole moment for the X 2Sigma+(v=0) state of CaH is estimated to be 2.53(3) D.
