Abstract

Three rotational transitions, 1 10 ← 1 01, 2 20 ← 2 11, and 3 30 ← 3 21, of the PH 2 radical in the ground vibronic state were observed in the mm-wave region, by using a source-frequency modulation spectrometer with a 1-m-long free space cell. The PH 2 radical was generated directly in the cell by glow discharge in a mixture of phosphine and oxygen. Thirty four fine and hyperfine components were measured for the three transitions. An analysis of the observed spectra, combined with far-infrared and mid-infrared laser magnetic resonance spectra and laser-induced fluorescence spectra obtained by other works, improved the rotational and spin-rotation interaction constants in precision. The observed hyperfine structure gave the magnetic hyperfine coupling constants for both P and H nuclei and also the P nuclear spin-rotation interaction constants.
