1 High Resolution Laser Induced Fluorescence Spectroscopic Study of RuF Timothy C. Steimle, Wilton L. Virgo Tongmei Ma The 60 th International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy and CoF Funded by: DoE-BES

2 Motivation  Establish trends in bonding; provide test data for theoretical calculations. Diatomics : OXIDESNITRIDES CARBIDES Very few halides!!! -1-  Provide the most fundamental property ― dipole moments  FLUORIDES

3 Spectroscopic history of RuF  RuF -2- and CoF  CoF – None! – Adam et al:[18.8] 3  - X 3  ; medium res. LIF spectra – Ram et al:[10.3] 3  - X 3 , C 3  - X 3 , D 3  - X 3  and G 3  - C 3  ; near-IR FT spectra Conclusion: X 3  is an inverted ground state with the X 3  4 spin-component lying lowest; X 3  4 is fully characterized. – Okabayashi et al:X 3  4 ground state; mm-wave abs. spectra

13 Concluding Remarks for RuF -12-  Two new band systems have been observed for RuF. High-resolution spectra have been recorded for the visible band system and hyperfine splitting can be observed.  4  11/2 - X 4  9/2, B’’=0.285; B’=0.287, consistent with ab initio prediction.  Through stark measurement,  3.6D  One anomalous factor we can’t explain is the missing Q branch.

17  Hyperfine LIF spectra of the transition [18.8] 3  4 - X 3  4 has been recorded field free and in the presence of static electric fields. Both two nuclear spin splittings can be observed. Both excited and ground states have F hyperfine spltting in CoF, which is consistent with in RuF.  The predicted spectra agree quite well with the observed spectra which means that our model system works good.  The hyperfine molecular constants for [18.8] 3  4 state and  of the two states were obtained. -16- Concluding Remarks for CoF
