Optical-optical double resonance spectroscopy has been used to record rotationally resolved spectra of the C(2)Pi-A(2)Pi and D(2)Sigma(+)-A(2)Pi transitions of SrF. In the investigation, the spectrum of a previously unobserved (2)Sigma(+)-A(2)Pi transition was recorded. The new (2)Sigma(+) state was found to lie lower in energy than the previously labeled D(2)Sigma(+) (v = 0) state by an amount equal to the vibrational spacing of the D(2)Sigma(+) state. Therefore, the new (2)Sigma(+) state was assigned as the v = 0 level of the D(2)Sigma(+) state and the previous labeling of the vibrational quantum numbers of the D(2)Sigma(+) state should be increased by 1. Spectroscopic parameters were determined for the C(2)Pi, D(2)Sigma(+) (v = 0), and D(2)Sigma(+) (v = 1) states. The D(2)Sigma(+) (v = 0) state was found to be perturbed, most likely by the spin-orbit components of the C(2)Pi (v =1) state. The spin-orbit constant of the C(2)Pi state was found to decrease significantly relative to the A(2)Pi state, similar to CaF and SrOH. Finally, the C(2)Pi and D(2)Sigma(+) states do not appear to form a unique perturber/pure precession pair of states.

We report an ab initio study on the spectroscopy of the open-shell diatomic molecule yttrium oxide, YO. The study considers the six lowest doublet states, X2Σ+, A'2Δ, A2Π, B2Σ+, C2Π, D2Σ+, and a few higher-lying quartet states using high levels of electronic structure theory and accurate nuclear motion calculations. The coupled cluster singles, doubles, and perturbative triples, CCSD(T), and multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) methods are employed in conjunction with a relativistic pseudopotential on the yttrium atom and a series of correlation-consistent basis sets ranging in size from triple-ζ to quintuple-ζ quality.

The generalized oscillator strengths for the valence-shell excitations of AΣ, CΠ, and DΣ electronic-states of nitric oxide have been determined at an incident electron energy of 1500 eV with an energy resolution of 70 meV. The optical oscillator strengths for these transitions have been obtained by extrapolating the generalized oscillator strengths to the limit that the squared momentum transfer approaches to zero, which give an independent cross-check to the previous experimental and theoretical results. The integral cross sections for the valence-shell excitations of nitric oxide have been determined systematically from the threshold to 2500 eV with the aid of the newly developed BE-scaling method for the first time.

The DΣ-XΣ electronic absorption spectrum of the astrophysically relevant yttrium oxide (YO) molecule has been recorded for the first time in the 400-440 nm region using laser induced fluorescence. YO molecules are produced by corona discharge of oxygen between the tips of two yttrium needles in a supersonic jet expansion. An unambiguous spectroscopic identification of the DΣ-XΣ transition becomes possible from a combined analysis of the moderate-resolution laser excitation spectrum and dispersed fluorescence spectrum.

The potential energy curves (PECs) were calculated for the 42 Ω states generated from the 21 Λ-S states (X(4)Σ(-), A(4)Π, B(4)Σ(-), a(2)Π, b(2)Σ(-), c(2)Δ, d(2)Σ(+), e(2)Π, 3(2)Π, 4(2)Π, 5(2)Π, 2(2)Σ(-), 3(2)Σ(-), 2(2)Σ(+), 3(2)Σ(+), 2(2)Δ, 3(2)Δ, 1(4)Σ(+), 2(4)Π, 1(4)Δ and 1(2)Φ), which originated from the lowest two dissociation channels, B((2)Pu)+C((3)Pg) and B((2)Pu)+C((1)Dg), of the BC molecule. The PECs were calculated for internuclear separations from 0.08 to 1.
