Abstract
High-dispersion emission spectrograms of the λ 4502 band of NH and the λ 4484 band of ND have been obtained from a positive column discharge through a mixture of helium, nitrogen and hydrogen (or deuterium). New bands at λ 5254 (NH) and λ 5015 (ND) belong to the same system, which is assigned to the c 1π-b 1Σ+ transition. Rotational analysis gives the following constants for b 1Σ+ (in cm-1): Be αe De ωe ωexe NH 16.7326 0.6049 16.54 × 10-4 3354.7 74.4 ND 8.9472 0.2383 4.64 × 10-4 2451.3 39.7 The capital Lambda doubling in c 1π is compared with calculations which assume `pure precession' with b 1Σ+ and d 1Σ+.
