Notes

1From the value for GaD.
2Deuteride bands involving this level have diffuse rotational lines whose width increases with J. Corresponding lines of the hydride are even broader, only diffuse Q and R heads can be recognized. The diffuseness results from tunnelling through a potential maximum which separates the shallow potential well from the dissociation limit 2P3/2 + 2S.
3DRP - DQ= +12E-6.
4RKR potential functions Ginter and Battino, 1965.
5Rotational constants derived from R and P branches. Slightly different Bv and Dv values from the Q branches; see Ginter and Innes, 1961.
6Dv= -124E-6(v+1/2) + 83.5E-6(v+1/2)2; see 5.
7missing note
8missing note
9Dv= +75E-6(v+1/2) + 14.5E-6(v+1/2)2.
10ΔG(3/2) = 1313.6.
11missing note
12D1 = 4l3E-6, D2 = 463E-6.
13Each band consists of a single Q branch.
14missing note
15Dv= +1E-6(v+1/2)2.
16From the predissociation of A 1Π(v=0), see 2.
17Calculated from v0(0-1) = 22745.8 using ground state vibrational constants derived from GaH. The 0-0 band was not observed owing to a strong overlapping impurity.
