Abstract
The 2(2)Σ(+) and 4(2)Σ(+) excited states of (7)Li(40)Ca have been studied by high resolution Fourier-transform spectroscopy. The data on the lower state, 2(2)Σ(+), were obtained by analyzing the rotationally resolved spectra of the thermal emission of LiCa in the 2(2)Σ(+) → X(2)Σ(+) band around 9500 cm(-1). These data contained transitions mainly from v' = 0 and 1 for N' up to 92 and allowed us to derive molecular parameters describing the potential curve of the state close to its minimum. The dataset on the second state, 4(2)Σ(+), is much larger and comes from a laser-induced fluorescence experiment. The levels were excited by a single mode dye laser and the 4(2)Σ(+) → X(2)Σ(+) fluorescence was recorded through a Fourier-transform spectrometer. For both states potential energy curves and Dunham coefficients were derived and the spin-rotation structure was evaluated. The results are compared with theoretical and experimental data from the literature.
