Collisional transitions obeying nondipolar selection rules between M levels of FCN, a laser-microwave double-resonance study
Abstract
Two Stark components of the R (2) transition of the ν1 band of FCN were tuned into resonance with the R (20) 9.4-μm CO2 laser line. From consideration of the collisionally induced double-resonance signals observed in the microwave spectrum, it was concluded that ΔJ=0, ΔM=±1 nondipolar collisional transitions occur with a frequency similar to that of the dipole-allowed ΔJ=±1, ΔM=±1 collisional transitions.
