Abstract
The rotational structure of six bands of the TbO molecule, including the 0–0 bands of electronic transitions III, IV, and V, was analyzed using laser excitation spectroscopy with selective fluorescence detection. From the fluorescence spectra obtained through excitation of selected rotational lines in these bands, the energies of 14 low-lying Ω states as well as ΔG1/2 values for the four lowest Ω states were determined. The values of Ω and rotational constants B and D were found for each, low-lying state and the upper states of the analyzed bands; an energy linkage for all the electronic transitions, whose rotational structure has been analyzed, is established. The ground state constants of TbO are (2σ—uncertainty in parentheses) Ω = 6.5, B0 = 0.3525(1) cm−1, D0 = 1.8(2) × 10−7 cm−1, ΔG1/2 = 837.1(1) cm−1, α = 1.5(1) × 10−3 cm−1.
