RUI: Measurement of Hyperfine Interactions in Small Molecules

该奖项将继续使用高分辨率分子束电共振光谱仪测量小分子（如碱卤化物或氢氧化物）振动和旋转状态序列的超精细光谱。这些光谱将提供改进的超精细相互作用常数值，与从电子波函数的理论计算中得到的值进行比较。与同位素取代和不同碱卤化物分子之间的相互作用的系统变化将被检查。本科物理专业的学生将与教师在工作的各个方面作为同事。

This award provides for the continuation of a project to measure hyperfine spectra in sequences of vibrational and rotational states in small molecules, such as alkali halides or hydroxides, using a high-resolution molecular beam electric resonance spectrometer. These spectra will provide improved values for hyperfine interaction constants, to be compared with those obtained from theoretical calculations of electron wave functions. Systematic variations of the interactions with isotopic substitution and between the different alkali halide molecules will be examined. Undergraduate physics majors will work with faculty as colleagues in all aspects of the work.
