| Note: It now appears that the ground state constants of Toueg, 1974 are unreliable; the uncertainty also affects the new results for the C state Allegrini, Moi, et al., 1977 [Arimondo, private comm. 1978] | ||||||||||||
Notes
| 1 | Recalculated; Sinha, 1948 gives 25201 which must be erroneous. |
| 2 | ωeze = -0.000223. All constants obtained from a study of the C state vibrational-rotational structure by laser excitation and collision-induced dissociation Allegrini, Moi, et al., 1977. Similar vibrational constants have been derived by Loomis and Arvin, 1934 from absorption and magnetic rotation spectra; convergence limit at 18025 ± 250 cm-1 above X 1Σ+(v=0), corresponding to Na(2S) + K(4p 2P). |
| 3 | missing note |
| 4 | Centrifuga1 distortion constants as given by Allegrini, Moi, et al., 1977 and Toueg, 1974; there is no agreement with De values calculated from 4Be3/ωe2. |
| 5 | Perturbations (possibly by a 3Π state) are very likely the cause for the appearance of a weak magnetic rotation spectrum. |
| 6 | ωexe= -7.9E-5(v+1/2)3 - 2.47E-7(v+1/2)4 - 2.50E-7(v+1/2)5 Toueg, 1974. |
| 7 | αv= -9.4E-7(v+1/2)2 - 9.08E-8(v+1/2)3 Toueg, 1974. |
| 8 | Mol. beam re electric 12 |
| 9 | gJ = -0.0253 μN Brooks, Anderson, et al., 1972. For an NMR experiment using-optical pumping see Konig and Weber, 1976. |
| 10 | Extrapolation of the vibrational levels in C 1Π assuming that this state has no potential maximum. |
| 11 | Photoionization appearance potential Foster, Leckenby, et al., 1969. |
| 12 | μel(v=0) = 2.667 D [recalculated from μ02/B0 = 3.966E-19 cm3 Dagdigian and Wharton, 1972 with the new value for B0]. Electric quadrupole coupling constants Dagdigian and Wharton, 1972; see also Brooks, Anderson, et al., 1972. |
