Article Description

The absorption and resonance Raman spectra of yttrium dimers (Y) in argon matrices are measured for the first time. The absorption spectrum (scattering depletion spectrum SDS) shows a weak, broad transition centered near 485 nm. Resonance Raman spectra obtained by exciting into this absorption band with several visible laser lines (465.5-496.5 nm) give a single, sharp progression with up to ten Stokes transitions. These data give ω = 184.4(4) cm, with ωx = 0.30(3) cm, leading to a spectroscopic dissociation energy of D = 3.5(4) eV. Comparison of our results with several ab initio calculations adds confirmation to the assignment of the ground state of Y to be the Σ state. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
