Hyperfine structure, electric and magnetic properties of 14N 216O in the ground and first excited bending vibrational state

Abstract

The molecular beam electric resonance method has been used to obtain the components of the electric quadrupole coupling tensor ( eQq zz ), of the electric dipole moment along the molecular axis (μ el), the spin—rotation constant ( c ⊥) and the molecular g-factor perpendicular to the molecular axis ( g ⊥), and the anisotropy in the magnetic susceptibility ( x | − x ⊥) for the ground vibrational state of nitrous oxide ( 14N 14 N 16O). The same quantities, except x | − x ⊥, have also been determined for the (01 10) excited vibrational state. For this state the l-doubling constants q ν 2 and μ ν 2 , perpendicular anisotropy ( eQq xx − eQq yy ) in nuclear quadrupole tensor, the anisotropy ( c | — c ⊥) in the spin-rotation constant, and the molecular g-factor ( g |) parallel to the molecular axis have been obtained.
