High-resolution laser-excitation spectrum of the A2Π ← X2Σ system of TiN: rotational analysis of the 0–0, 1–1, and 2–2 bands
Keyword(s):
The 0–0, 1–1, and 2–2 bands of the A2Π ← X2Σ system of TiN have been recorded using the technique of laser-excitation spectroscopy. Molecular constants have been obtained from direct least squares fits of the measured line positions of individual bands. The fitted constants confirm and extend previous determinations; for the A2Π state, some of the constants show unusually large variations with ν, in accord with the already known perturbation of this state in the ν = 0 level.
