Abstract

The transitions Δm_I=±1, Δm_J=0 for both Na and Cl were studied at high magnetic field in a beam produced by the evaporation of sodium chloride. The observed spectra could not be fully described in terms of the known internal interactions of a diatomic molecule or the interaction of a diatomic molecule with an applied field. It is suggested that the unexplained features of the spectra result from the presence in the beam of molecules of the type (NaCl)₂. Similar effects have been observed in sodium fluoride and sodium iodide.
