The spectrum of CuO: Wave numbers, term values, and constants
Abstract
The 60 bands in the emission spectrum of the Cu0 molecule which were rotationally analyzed and ordered into systems are studied. The wave numbers of all the analyzed rotational lines are tabulated and term values of the 13 investigated excited states are found. Molecular constants are also recalculated for the excited states and the ground state of the Cu0 molecule. The ground state is involved in all the observed transitions. Since the lower term values show no irregularities, the ground state can be represented by a simple energy expression. Under these circumstances, it is advantageous to calculate all the term values of the excited states simultaneously with the molecular constants of the ground states.
