High Resolution Spectroscopy of NF and BiF
Abstract
During the period covered by the U.S. Air Force grant a Broida type oven was constructed allowing the spectroscopic investigation of the A O+ and X O+ electronic states of the BiF molecule. Potential energy curves for the A and X states were constructed up to v = 25 and v = 36 respectively, much farther than previously known. Except a drastic change in the nature of the BiF (X O+) band strength, the dissociation energy is estimated 40 000 cm-1 almost twice the calculated current value. We are currently constructing a new BiF source in order to better determine the electronic structure of low-lying states of BiF.
