Structure and analysis of the B–X band system of GaO

The electronic spectrum of the GaO molecule has been re-investigated in the region 3600–4200 Å The use of high resolution and dispersion permitted clear resolution of the rotational structure and the formation of head of heads in Δν = + 1 and + 2 sequences is clearly visible. The rotational analyses of the (0,0) and the (1,0) bands have been performed and more reliable molecular constants have been obtained. Intensity anomalies in the bands have been explained on the basis of the true potential energy curves and the associated Franck–Condon factors.
