Notes

Vertical transition.

K state of N₂ (removal of one K electron)

Consisting of a v" progression (v"= 0...5).

Observed X-ray emission line leading to X ²Σ_g⁺(v=0); the value predicted from the K limit and I.P.(N2) is 393.9 eV. The X-ray line has a shoulder at 394.1₇ eV probably corresponding to v"=1.

Repulsive state corresponding to removal of a 2σ_g electron and dissociating into N(⁴S) + N⁺(2s2p³ ³P), observed in photoelectron and photoion spectra with maximum at 39.8 and limit at 37.8₆ eV.

Different constants are derived by Joshi, 1966 who assumes that the levels v=0,1,2 are perturbed and therefore does not include them in the evaluation: he gives T_e = 64562.93 cm^-1 Joshi, 1966.

Vibrational numbering confirmed by ¹⁴N-¹⁵N isotope shifts Baer and Miescher, 1953, Namioka, Yoshino, et al., 1963, Joshi, 1966, 2. Additional vibrational levels (to v'=17) observed by Asbrink and Fridh, 1974 in the photoelectron spectrum.

B_v(v=1)= 1.509₆, B_v(v=2)= 1.503₅, B_v(v=3)= 1.497₀, B_v(v=4)= 1.489₈, B_v(v=5)= 1.480₄, B_v(v=6)= 1.470₀. The shape of the B_v curve is anomalous; meaningful equilibrium constants have not been determined. Spin doubling partially resolved for high N values Carroll, 1959.

In a discharge through He+N₂ the v'=3 bands are strongly enhanced. It has been suggested Douglas, 1952 that this enhancement is due to inverse predissociation, i.e. N(⁴S) + N⁺(³P) → N₂⁺(C ²Σ_u⁺): see also Carroll, 1959. Direct predissociation, i.e. the production of N⁺ ions, has been observed mass- spectrometrically Wankenne and Momigny, 1971, Wankenne, Bolduc, et al., 1975: see also Fournier, Ozenne, et al., 1970, Fournier, van de Runstraat, et al., 1971. According to Wankenne and Momigny, 1971 the "metastable" ion N₂⁺(C ²Σ_u⁺) has a lifetime of 0.8 μs before radiationless decomposition; see, however, van de Runstraat, de Heer, et al., 1974 and 10. The question which state causes the predissociation has been the subject of much discussion Lorquet and Lorquet, 1974, Tellinghuisen and Albritton, 1975, Roche and Lefebvre-Brion, 1975 following the discovery of a large isotope effect on this predissociation Govers, van de Runstraat, et al., 1973, Govers, Fehsenfeld, et al., 1974, van de Runstraat, de Heer, et al., 1974, Govers, van de Runstraat, et al., 1975. See also Fournier, Govers, et al., 1972. Another predissociation limit at 26.70 eV above N₂(X ¹Σ_g⁺,v=0) and corresponding to ²D⁰ + ³P has been observed by Asbrink and Fridh, 1974.

Radiative lifetime of the nonpredissociated levels τ(v≤2) = 0.09 μs Fournier, van de Runstraat, et al., 1971.

A = -16.5.

Vibrational numbering confirmed by ¹⁴N-¹⁵N isotope shifts Namioka, Yoshino, et al., 1963.

The identification of this quartet-doublet transition by d'Incan and Topouzkhanian, 1975 has been questioned by Dressler, 1976 who considers it as the first negative system of ¹⁴N¹⁵N⁺.

ω_ez_e = -0.0495; these constants, derived from ω₀, ω₀x₀, ... of Coster and Brons, 1931, represent the unperturbed vibrational levels only to v=10: for v>10 the ΔG curve shows a positive curvature. Levels observed up to v=29 Douglas, 1952.

Experimental Franck-Condon factors for photoionization into these states from the ground state of N₂ Spohr and Puttkamer, 1967, Comes and Speier, 1971, Gardner and Samson, 1974; theoretical Franck-Condon factors Lofthus and Krupenie, 1977, Albritton, Schmeltekopf, et al., 1979; see also Kosinov and Skovorodko, 1973, Lee and Rabalais, 1974.

Valid only to v=3. Rotational perturbations by A ²Π_u in v=1,3,5,8,9,13; see Herzberg, 1928, Coster and Brons, 1931, Childs, 1932, Parker, 1933, Brons, 1934, Klynning and Pages, 1972.

Lifetime τ(v=0) = 60.5 ns Dotchin and Chupp, 1973, Smith, Read, et al., 1975, see Dotchin and Chupp, 1973, Smith, Read, et al., 1975 and earlier work quoted by them. Perturbed rotational levels (e.g. v=1, N=13,14) have lifetimes up to τ(v=1,N=13,14)= 95 ns Dufayard, Negre, et al., 1974. f₀₀= 0.019 Nicholls, 1963; the electronic f value at the wavelength of the 0-1 band is f= 0.034 Wray and Connolly, 1965.

Observed in absorption in flash discharges Herzberg, 1968; laser-induced fluorescence Engelking and Smith, 1975. From intensity measurements Lee and Judge, 1973 conclude that the electronic transition moment is nearly independent of r; see, however, Nicholls, 1963, Kiselyovskii and Shimanovich, 1968, Brown and Landshoff, 1971. Franck-Condon factors Grandmontagne, Jorus, et al., 1970, Comes and Speier, 1971, Lofthus and Krupenie, 1977.

A(v=2,3)= -74.62, small J dependence Colbourn and Douglas, 1977.

From Janin, d'Incan, et al., 1963; Colbourn and Douglas, 1977 give ΔG(5/2) = 1813.32₇. Levels observed in nitrogen ion beams to v=30 Maier and Holland, 1973. Vibrational numbering confirmed by ¹⁵N₂⁺ data Liu, 1959.

From the rotational constants for v=2,3 Colbourn and Douglas, 1977; also Λ-type doubling constants. For higher but less accurate B_v values see Janin, d'Incan, et al., 1963. β_e = +0.18E-6 Colbourn and Douglas, 1977.

Lifetime varies from 13.9 μs for v=1 to 7.3 μs for v=8: see Peterson and Moseley, 1973,who give references to earlier work, and Gray, Roberts, et al., 1972, Maier and Holland, 1973. Transition probabilities, f values: f₀₀= 0.00168 Cartwright, 1973.

These constants Klynning and Pages, 1972 are only very slightly different from those implied by Douglas, 1952 who gives ω₀, ω₀x₀ ... ΔG(1/2) = 2174.72₈ Colbourn and Douglas, 1977.
