AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF BAND INTENSITIES IN THE FIRST POSITIVE SYSTEM OF N2: II. THE TRANSITION MOMENT

Abstract

Experimental band intensities of the first positive system (B3Πg → A3Σu) of nitrogen are used together with theoretical transition probabilities to determine the dependence of the electronic transition moment on the internuclear separation. Over the range 1.17 < r < 1.59 Å of internuclear separation, this dependence may be represented by Re(r) = const. × exp (−3.02 r).
