Notes

P, Q, and R branches. No Λ-type doubling observed. The three systems are probably subsystems of a triplet - triplet transition, possibly ³Φ-³Δ (see Edvinsson, 1971).

v=0 perturbed by state of smaller B value.

From the fluorescence spectrum of HfO in a Ne matrix Weltner and McLeod, 1965.

D₁ = 3.73E-7, perturbed.

Absorption spectra of HfO in solid inert gas matrices; see Weltner and McLeod, 1965.

These band origins do not conform to the usual convention adopted in these tables. Subtract B'_v in order to obtain zero lines.

f levels.

Perturbations between D and E.

e levels.

Possibly ³Π₀₊ and ³Π₁; see Edvinsson, 1971.

IR spectrum of HfO trapped in Ne matrix Weltner and McLeod, 1965.

Thermochemical value (mass-spectrom. Ackermann and Rauh, 1974). See also Panish and Reif, 1963.

Electron impact appearance potential Rauh and Ackermann, 1974.
