Optical Observations of the Stark Effect on Oh

Abstract: The ultraviolet spectrum of the OH molecule has been obtained in electric fields up to 64 000 volts per cm. Stark line splittings, broadenings, and field-induced parity-forbidden transitions have been observed. The electric dipole moment of OH in its electronic and vibrational ground state (X2Π) has been determined to be (1.727 ± 0.02) Debyes. The dipole moment in the first excited vibrational state has been found to be about 4% lower.

“…The total energies, dipole moments, and polarizabilities obtained with both the POLl and AN0 basis sets at the experimental geometries (35) using various methods are summarized in Table 3, and compared with the available experimental values (47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52) in the case of dipole moments. These results enable us to draw a number of interesting conclusions concerning the role of the correlation effects, the use of relaxed (R) vs. nonrelaxed (N) orbitals, and the size of the basis set employed.…”

“…The resulting dipole moments for OH and OD are shown in Table 1. These values were found using best-fit slopes, weighted for error, according to the method of Phelps and Dalby (1965), as exemplified by the case of OD, v = 0 which is shown in Fig. 4.…”

“…tion. Although the 'll state exhibits intermediate coupling between Hund's case (a) and case (b) Theoretical coupling models (Hill and Van Vleck 1928), the An electric field E interacting with a dipole level J = 112 is pure case (a) and has a secondmoment p gives rise to a perturbing term in the order shift (see Phelps and Dalby (1965)) given by Can. J. Phys.…”

“…Only when in an electronic transition band there are very sharp lines as in the resolvable rotational fine structure of vaporized molecules, a direct observation of a shift may be possible in the visible or near ultraviolet range, as has been demonstrated in absorption spectra by Klemperer et al [3,41 and in emission spectra by Dalby et al [2]. But even in these favorable cases one cannot observe in an applied electric field a shift of lines corresponding to transitions between individual levels, but rather a broadening and splitting of a rotational line due to blending of different transitions between different close spaced levels.…”
