An entire band of perturbation allowed transitions to the ν4 state of 14NH3 has been assigned in the Fourier transform spectra recorded using a 192-m path length. More than 900 of the forbidden transitions provide necessary information on the spacing between the energy levels with different quantum numbers k, inaccessible from allowed transitions. These data were combined with all other relevant data (MW, submillimetrewave, FIR, IR) published in the literature to derive precise values of inversion–rotation energy levels. This extensive data set completely describes the ground state energy levels of 14NH3 up to quantum number J = 16 for all possible values of the quantum number k.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
