Abstract
The diode laser induced B(1)(1)Π → X(1)Σ(+) fluorescence spectra of the KCs molecule were recorded by Fourier-transform spectrometer with resolution of 0.03 cm(-1). Buffer gas Ar was used to facilitate appearance of rotation relaxation lines in the spectra, thus enlarging the B(1)(1)Π dataset, allowing one to determine the Λ-splitting constants and to reveal numerous local perturbations. A dataset was systematically obtained for B(1)(1)Π vibrational levels ν(') ∈ [0; 5] nonuniformly covering rotational levels with J(') ∈ [7; 233]. For ν(') ∈ [0; 3], the less-perturbed data of f-components were included in the fit. A pointwise potential energy curve (PEC) based on the inverted perturbation approach, as well as the Dunham coefficients, was obtained and compared with ab initio calculations; in particular, the energy of the PEC's minimum T(e) = 14,044.918(6) cm(-1) was determined. Both approaches allowed us to reproduce the vast majority of data used in the fit with accuracy of 0.02 cm(-1). Tentative molecular constants for several vibrational levels of the near lying C(3)(1)Σ(+) state were estimated.
