The Vegard–Kaplan band system of nitrogen was excited by running a low-current discharge through a pure xenon–nitrogen mixture contained in a 6-liter spherical bulb of a discharge tube. Photoelectric measurements of the relative intensities of 18 bands (λ 2340–4324 Å) have been made using a 1-m Ebert–Fastie spectrometer. These measured band intensities were used along with Franck–Condon factors qν′ν″ and r centroids [Formula: see text] to study the variation of the electronic transition moment Re(r) with internuclear separation r. It was found that over the measured range from r = 1.23 to 1.43 Å that Re(r) could be represented by[Formula: see text]A "smoothed" set of band strengths [Formula: see text] was determined from this expression for all the observed bands of the Vegard–Kaplan system.

The SiN B2Σ+−X2Σ+ (3800–5200 A) spectrum was excited by continuous introduction of SiCl4 in trace amount into the afterglow produced by microwave excitation of nitrogen. Relative intensities of 21 bands were measured photo-electrically and interpreted with the aid of Franck–Condon factors qν′ν″ and r-centroids [Formula: see text] in terms of the variation of the electronic transition moment Re(r) with internuclear separation r. It was found that Re(r) could be represented empirically by Re(r) = const.(1−1.27r + 0.412r2), [Formula: see text].

Experimental band intensities in the CN red system, A (2Πi) →X(2Σ+), have been measured using an active nitrogen – carbon tetrachloride source. Using calculated Franck–Condon factors qν′ν″ the electronic transition moment Re(r) is found to vary little over the range 1.04 < r < 1.27 Å.

Photographic Photometry

The 4800–6700-Å system of MnO has been excited in an arc. Using the photographic photometry, the relative band intensities have been measured. The data were interpreted with the aid of Franck-Condon factors and r centroids. The electronic transition moment is found to vary according to the relation Re(r) = const (1- 3.192 r + 1.99 r2), where 1.736≤ r≤ 1.90 Å. The slope of the straight line plot of log ∑ v″ I/v4 against G'(ν') for ν' progression gives an estimate of effective vibrational temperature to be 3860 K.

Higher Sensitivity

The [Formula: see text] intercombination bands of GeH+ and GeD+ have been observed from the helium afterglow reactions of GeH4 and GeD4, respectively. Only the (0,0) band of [Formula: see text] had been rotationally analyzed before; the higher sensitivity of the new measurements made possible the rotational analyses of four weaker bands. Eleven bands of [Formula: see text] were observed for the first time, and rotational analyses were made of five dominant bands. By using isotope relationships, we obtained detailed spectroscopic constants for the [Formula: see text] and X1Σ+ states of GeH+ and GeD+. Franck–Condon factors and r centroids of the [Formula: see text] transitions of GeH+ and GeD+ have been calculated on the basis of Morse potentials. The dependence of the electronic transition moment on the r centroid and the relative vibrational populations of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] have been estimated.

Swan Band

The rotational line intensity, partial band intensity and peak band intensity methods (the latter used in conjunction with computer-generated synthetic spectra) have been used to interpret photoelectric and photographic measurements on the astrophysically important C 2 Swan band system, stably excited in a direct current discharge through C 2 CI 6 + A. All measurements lead to a consistent (within 5% ) expression for the variation of the electronic transition moment with internuclear separation of R e (r) = C (1.00-0.25r) 1.120 < r < 1.488 A . Critical assessment of recently published oscillator strength measurements on the (0,0) band suggest that C is 13.02 x 10 -18 cm e.s.u. ( ± 25 %). A table of absolute band strengths, oscillator strengths and Einstein A coefficients has thus been calculated.

Recent Developments

The r-centroid concept, was proposed the in 1950s to permit factoring of the band strength integral Sυ',υ'' into the product of the Franck–Condon factor qυ',υ'', and of the square of the electronic transition moment Re (r), when taken at the r-centroid value of the internuclear separation, r = [Formula: see text]υ',υ'', which is the most likely value r at which the υ' « υ'' transition will occur. It has been much used since then in the interpretation of intensity measurements on many band systems of importance in astrophysics, atmospheric physics, space physics, and chemical physics to determine the variation of the electronic transition moment with internuclear separation, and thereby to derive band strengths, and other molecular transition probability parameters. It has been somewhat less used in recent years in the study of individual band systems, since the development of powerful computing facilities now allow for exact ab initio numerical studies to be made of individual molecules and their radiative transitions. Nevertheless the r-centroid concept, and some of its recent developments, provide much insight into the general systematics of diatomic molecular band systems and their spectra. This partly tutorial paper reviews the origins, properties, applications, and recent developments of the r-centroid concept. PACS No.: 33.70
