TRANSITION PROBABILITIES AND DISSOCIATION ENERGY OF THE AsS+MOLECULE

Abstract
The Franck—Condon factors and r-centroids, which are very closely related to relative transition probabilities, have been computed by the more reliable numerical integration procedure for the bands of the A1Π–X1Σ+ system of the AsS+ molecule, using a suitable potential. The dissociation energy for the electronic ground state of AsS+ has been estimated by fitting the Steele and Lippincott potential function to the experimental potential energy curve, using the correlation coefficient.
