Abstract
The electronic spectrum of the copper monoxide molecule (CuO) was investigated in the range of 430–550 nm using laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy and single vibronic level emission spectra. The CuO molecule was produced by a supersonic jet-cooled discharge assisted laser ablation of Cu target. Twenty two vibronic bands were observed and assigned to the electronic transition progressions from the ground state X2Пi to excited states C2П3/2, C2П1/2, D2Δ5/2, E2Δ5/2, F2П3/2, G2Σ−, H2П3/2, and I2П3/2, of which ten bands were recorded firstly. The molecular constants of the excited electronic states for 63CuO and 65CuO isotopologues were obtained by a rotational analysis of the spectra. Cascading processes in the electronic excited states were found combining the time-resolved single vibronic level emission spectroscopy. The time-dependent radiative decay curves corresponding to different decay processes were recorded and analyzed.
