Abstract
The excited Ca(4s4dδ 3DJ)RG[3Δ1,2] states (RG=Ar, Kr, Xe) have been characterized spectroscopically by R2PI (resonance-enhanced two-photon ionization) spectroscopy. The main vibrational progressions, assigned to Ca(4s4dδ 3D1)RG[3Δ1]←Ca(4s4pπ 3P0)⋅RG[3Π⎯0] transitions, have weak subbands 3.7±0.5 cm−1 to the blue which have been assigned to analogous transitions to the 3Δ2 upper states. For CaAr and CaKr, rotational analysis has confirmed this assignment. The 3Δ2/3Δ1 splitting is within experimental error the value expected if the molecular spin-orbit coupling constant is derived entirely from the Ca(4s4d 3DJ) atomic contribution. This indicates that there is no “heavy-atom” mixing of RG(ndδ) character into the wave functions of the CaRG(3Δ) states.
