“…The first two mechanisms were theoretically predicted by Mizushima and Venkateswarlu The molecule-fixed PDM m a can be expanded in the usual way (2-5, 8, 13, 14, 17) into a series of terms which are the (2), and by Watson (3), Fox (4), and Aliev (5), and were experimentally verified by Uehara et al (6) and Ozier (7) products of the dimensionless normal coordinate operator q ta , the dimensionless total angular momentum operator J a , and more than 20 years ago. Very recently the last mechanism, proposed by Aliev et al (8), was confirmed in sub-Doppler the dimensionless vibrational angular momentum operator l ta Å (q tb p tg 0 q tg p tb ), where a Å x, y, z are the S 4 axes, p ta resolution spectroscopy of the 2n 3 band of methane (9).…”
