Stanton The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78712-0165. Michael D. Morse and Maria A. Garcia Department of Chemistry, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT 84112, USA The 68 th International Symposium on Molecular Spectroscopy, June 2013 Funded by DoE-BES

2 Motivation  Iridium containing molecules IrSi?

3 Previous work * Prof Morse’s group: Recorded 31 electronic bands  Recorded high resolution LIF of the (6,0)[16.0]1.5 - X 2  5/2 bands for 191&193 IrSi (lowest angular momentum quantum number)  Analyzed, determined the fine and hyperfine parameters  Recorded & Analyzed Stark spectra to determine the molecular dipole moments for the X 2  5/2 and [16.0]1.5(v=6) states

4 Experiment method Ablation laser CW dye laser SkimmerStark Plates Well collimated molecular beam Rot.Temp.<20 K Electric field ~ 4000 V/cm Resolution ~30 MHz Gated photon counter

5 (6,0)[16.0]1.5-X 2  5/2 band Large isotopic shifts (1.5cm -1 ) between 191 IrSi, 193 IrSi Formed a head quickly due to large difference in rotational constants Highly overlapped Complicated spectrum Observation Need to understand the field free spectrum to be able to study the Stark spectra

6 (6,0)[16.0]1.5-X 2  5/2 band Observation (cont.) Resolution ~30 MHz

7 1.Effective Hamiltonian H eff = H so + H rot + H mhf (Ir)+ H eQq (Ir) Modeling the (6,0)[16.0]1.5-X 2  5/2 band system Ir(I=3/2) Parameters: B, h 5/2 ( 191,193 Ir) and eQq 0 ( 191,193 Ir) for the X 2  5/2 (v=0) state,T 00, B, h 3/2 ( 191,193 Ir) and eQq 0 ( 191,193 Ir) for the (6,0)[16.0]1.5 2. 16x16 Matrix representation: Hund’s case (a bJ ) coupled basis set:  Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors

10 Facing the Challenge 9 field free transitions in P(5/2) splits into ~30 intense  M J =  M F transitions, and numerous weaker  M J   M F transitions under applied electric field Fully resolved at voltage higher than 4000V/cm (impossible)

11 What to expect?  (X 2  5/2 )=1.60(7) D 1. Comparison with isovalent IrC 2. Electronegativity Si (8.15eV)<Ir (9.0eV) Possible to have small negative dipole moment Expect small positive dipole moment

16 Summary  Recorded high resolution LIF of the (6,0)[16.0]1.5 - X 2  5/2 bands for 191&193 IrSi  Analyzed, determined the fine and hyperfine parameters  Recorded & Analyzed Stark spectra to determine the molecular dipole moments for the X 2  5/2 and [16.0]1.5(v=6) states  Compared reduce dipole moment of other Ir-containing molecules with IrSi  Predict the reduced dipole moment of other Ir-containing molecule  High level relativistic calculations are in good agreement with observed dipole moment and eQq 0 (mag. hyperfine?)
