The permanent electric dipole moments of the X-3 Delta, E-3 Pi, A(3)Phi and B-3 Pi states of titanium monoxide, TiO
The optical Stark spectrum of the origin bands of the E(3)Pi(0)-X(3)Delta(1),A(3)Phi(2)-X(3)Delta(1), and B(3)Pi(0)-X(3)Delta(1), electronic transitions of titanium monoxide, TiO, were analyzed to produce permanent electric dipole moments of 3.34(1), 3.2(4), 4.89(5) and 4.9(2) D for the X(3)Delta(1), E(3)Pi(0), A(2)(3Phi) and B(3)Pi(0) no states, respectively. The observations are compared with a simple molecular orbital description for the low-lying states and electronic structure calculations. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
