The electronic absorption and emission spectrum of BF has been photographed at high resolution from 900 to 11 000 Å. In this work, many new electronic states have been found and corrections have been made to earlier work. The ionization potential has been determined to be between 89 635 and 89 680 cm−1, with the most probable value being 89 650 cm−1. Tables of the vibrational and rotational constants of all the known states of BF are presented. All but two of the excited states of BF have been classified as Rydberg states and have been assigned to Rydberg series. The interactions between the various Rydberg states are discussed.

Heterogeneous perturbations 2E+ ~ 2Π of largely different magnitudes are observed with high resolution in the vacuum-ultraviolet absorption and in the infrared emission spectrum of the NO molecule. The rotational interactions between 2Σ+ Rydberg states and levels of the B2Π non-Rydberg state are shown to be "configurationally forbidden", but produced by the configuration interaction between the non-Rydberg levels and 2Π Rydberg states. The latter together with the 2Σ+ Rydberg states form p complexes. In this way the interactions display the l uncoupling in the complexes; they can be evaluated theoretically and can be analyzed fully. The cases of the strong interactions D2Σ+(v = 3) ~ B2Π(v = 16)and D2Σ+(v = 5) ~ B2Π(v = 21) and of the weaker D2Σ+(v = 1) ~ B2Π(v = 11), all three observed as perturbations in ε bands crossing 3 bands, are discussed in detail. It is further shown that perturbations between γ bands and β bands as well as perturbations between analogous bands of higher principal quantum number are absent, and thus the assignment of the A2Σ+ and E2Σ+ states to the s Rydberg series is confirmed.

Rotational structure of emission bands of the PO molecule in the region 5300–3800 Å is analyzed. The spectrum is attributed to 5 electronic transitions A2Σ+–B2Σ+, F2Σ+–B2Σ+, G2Σ+–B2Σ+, H2Σ+–B2Σ+, and I2Σ+–B2Σ+, where F, G, H, and I are the new electronic states and A and B are the upper states of the well-known γ and β bands respectively. Practically all the new 2Σ states are found to be perturbed. A qualitative account of these perturbations together with a deperturbation of certain levels is given. A number of cases of predissociation are also observed. This predissociation is attributed to the presence of 4Πi, and A′2Σ+ states, which dissociate to the ground state atomic products. From this an upper limit of the dissociation energy of the ground state of PO is determined to be D0 = 49 536 cm−1. The A, D, E, G, H, and I states of this molecule are assigned as Rydberg states corresponding to the σ4s, π4p, δ3d, σ4p, σ3d, and σ5s orbitals, respectively. From them a value of 67 570 cm−1 is evaluated for the first ionization potential of PO. All the electronic states established for this molecule are described in terms of electron configurations.

The emission spectrum of the ReO molecule has been photographed under high resolution between 375 and 875 nm. In addition to the 711.9 and 404.5 nm systems previously studied a large number of new electronic transitions have been classified on the basis of Re16O/Re18O isotopic shifts. The rotational structures of 18 bands of Re16O and 1 band of Re18O have been analyzed. Two low-lying electronic states in addition to the known common lower state of the 711.9 and 404.5 nm systems have been identified.


The absorption spectrum of yttrium vapour has been photographed in the spectral range 1650 to 2250 À, with a 10 m spectrograph. Series of autoionization resonances, which converge on excited states of the Y + ion have been identified, as combinations with the doublet ground-state of Y I , 5s 2 4d 2 D 3/2 , 5/2 . Although the lines of these series show broadened and often asymmetrical profiles, the lines are sufficiently well defined to fix a value for the first ionization potential of Y I , which differs from the previously accepted value by approximately 2500 cm -1 . In addition, approximately 400 new Y I lines, which involve excited levels below the first ionization limit of Y I , namely 4s 2 1 S o , have been found. The majority of these are unclassifiable at present but, the value for the first ionization-potential being known from the resonances above-mentioned, two series of the character 5s 2 4d 2 D 3/2 , 5/2 -5s 2 nf 2 F o have been identified. In addition to the identifications of series, 152 new lines below the 5s 2 1 S o limit identify 76 new levels of Y I , of odd parity.

Many bands of the [Formula: see text] electronic emission spectrum of H2O+, occurring in the wavelength region 4000–7500 Å, have been analyzed. These include bands that have been observed in the tails of comets. The wavelengths and wave numbers of all assigned lines are tabulated. Accurate rotational constants for the first three bending vibrational levels of the ground state are given, as well as energy levels in the upper and lower electronic states. The O—H bond distance and the H—O—H angle in the [Formula: see text] (0, 0, 0) level are found to be 0.9988 Å and 110.46° respectively. Some predicted microwave and infrared lines that may be of astrophysical interest are included.

A spectrum of triatomic hydrogen and deuterium was first discovered by means of an emission band with diffuse rotational structure near 5600 Å. An additional band of similar but much better resolved structure was subsequently observed near 6025 Å. The detailed analysis of these two bands for both H3 and D3 is described in this paper. Both bands are [Formula: see text] bands of a symmetric top; their structure establishes beyond doubt that triatomic hydrogen has a D3h structure in its Rydberg states. The molecular constants in upper and lower states are close to those in the ground state of H3+ (or D3+) in accordance with the assumption that these states are Rydberg states in which a single electron moves around a H3+ or D3+ core. The predicted states of such a Rydberg electron in a field of D3h symmetry account very well for the observed electronic states, both those involved in the [Formula: see text] bands described here and those involved in the [Formula: see text] bands to be discussed in subsequent papers of this series. The lowest state of the Rydberg electron 2p2E′ is unstable and dissociates to H2 + H in their ground states. It is this state that causes predissociation in the two lower states 2s2A1′and 2p2A2″ of the two [Formula: see text] bands here under discussion. The predissociation of 2s2A1′ is vibronically allowed and fairly strong such that all lines have widths of about 7 cm−1 for D3 and 30 cm−1 for H3. The predissociation of the 2p2A2″ state is vibronically forbidden and occurs only on account of ro-vibronic interaction. H3+ ions are assumed to be present in the interstellar medium. When they recombine with electrons they must necessarily emit the spectra described in this series of papers.

The two mutually related bands B′2Δ–C2Π (7,0) → N2Δ–C2Π (0,0) and N2Δ–C2Π (0,0) → B′2Δ–C2Π (7,0) are observed with high resolution between 6620 and 6520 Å in the emission spectrum of the NO molecule. They are the 2Δ–2Π part of the 4d–3p transitions between the two Rydberg states N2Δ(4dδ) and C2Π (3pπ) of the molecule. A rotational analysis is carried out for both bands, and the very close similarity of the structure of these bands with the structure of the corresponding 2Δ–2Π bands of the 3d–3p transitions, observed in the infrared, is demonstrated. The two upper levels in these nd–3p transitions represent examples of mixed states showing complete changeover with increasing rotation from the Rydberg type with no spin–orbit coupling (AR = 0.00 ± 0.05 cm−1) to an inverted valence type and vice versa. The behavior of the doublet splitting is studied with regard to this changeover. The lower levels of the Rydberg state C2Π also are mixtures with levels of a valence state. The mixing with B2Π (ν = 7) is comparatively small in the C2Π (ν = 0) level, but it strongly affects the energy levels with the lowest J values. The beginning of one of the two bands observed in the visible, therefore, forms the (7,7) band of the system B′2ΔB2Π. Constants of the states involved are determined.

Abstract Exciton physics in two-dimensional semiconductors are typically studied by photoluminescence spectroscopy. However, this technique does not allow for direct observation of non-radiating excitonic transitions. Here, we use low-temperature photocurrent spectroscopy as an alternative technique to investigate excitonic transitions in a high-quality monolayer MoS2 phototransistor. The resulting spectra presents excitonic peaks with linewidths as low as 8 meV. We identify spectral features corresponding to the ground states of neutral excitons ($${\mathrm{X}}_{1{\mathrm{s}}}^{\mathrm{A}}$$ X 1 s A and $${\mathrm{X}}_{1{\mathrm{s}}}^{\mathrm{B}}$$ X 1 s B ) and charged trions (TA and TB) as well as up to eight additional spectral lines at energies above the $${\mathrm{X}}_{1{\mathrm{s}}}^{\mathrm{B}}$$ X 1 s B transition, which we attribute to the Rydberg series of excited states of XA and XB. The intensities of the spectral features can be tuned by the gate and drain-source voltages. Using an effective-mass theory for excitons in two-dimensional systems we are able to accurately fit the measured spectral lines and unambiguously associate them with their corresponding Rydberg states.
