Motivation
 Iridium containing molecules
•
IrSi?
Previous work
•Prof Morse’s group: Recorded 31 electronic bands
*
Recorded high resolution LIF of the (6,0)[16.0]1.5 - X2D5/2 bands for
191&193IrSi
(lowest angular momentum quantum number)
Analyzed, determined the fine and hyperfine parameters
Recorded & Analyzed Stark spectra to determine the molecular dipole
moments for the X2D5/2 and [16.0]1.5(v=6) states
Experiment method
Ablation
laser
Gated photon counter
Skimmer
Stark
Plates
Well collimated
molecular beam
Rot.Temp.<20 K
Electric field ~ 4000 V/cm
Resolution ~30 MHz
CW dye laser
Observation
(6,0)[16.0]1.5-X2D5/2 band
Complicated spectrum
Large isotopic shifts (1.5cm-1) between
191IrSi, 193IrSi
Formed a head quickly due to large difference in rotational constants
Highly overlapped
Need to understand the field free spectrum to be able to study the
Stark spectra
Observation (cont.)
(6,0)[16.0]1.5-X2D5/2 band
Resolution ~30 MHz
Modeling the (6,0)[16.0]1.5-X2D5/2 band system
1. Effective Hamiltonian
Heff = Hso+ Hrot + Hmhf(Ir)+ HeQq(Ir)
Ir(I=3/2)
2. 16x16 Matrix representation: Hund’s case (abJ) coupled basis
set: Eigenvalues & Eigenvectors
Parameters: B, h5/2(191,193Ir) and eQq0(191,193Ir) for the X2D5/2(v=0)
state,T00, B, h3/2(191,193Ir) and eQq0(191,193Ir) for the (6,0)[16.0]1.5

191P(11/2)
Facing the Challenge
•9 field free transitions in P(5/2)
splits into ~30 intense DMJ= DMF
transitions, and numerous weaker
DMJ DMF transitions under applied
electric field
•Fully resolved at voltage higher
than 4000V/cm (impossible)
What to expect?
1. Comparison with isovalent IrC
m(X2D5/2)=1.60(7) D
Expect small positive dipole
moment
2. Electronegativity
Si (8.15eV)<Ir (9.0eV)
Possible to have small
negative dipole moment

Difference in bonding IrSi and IrC
Si (8.15eV)
IrSi: Covalent bond
Ir (9.0eV)
C (11.25eV)
IrC: Ionic bond

Summary
Recorded high resolution LIF of the (6,0)[16.0]1.5 - X2D5/2
