The Rotational Zeeman Effect in Van Der Waals Molecules

Abstract

dc:description

The rotational Zeeman effect in several weakly bound bimolecular complexes, or van der Waals molecules, is examined. The recently developed pulsed Fourier transform microwave spectrometer employing an evacuated Fabry-Perot cavity located inside the bore of a superconducting solenoid is discussed. The zero field rotational spectrum of small hydrocarbon molecules with HX(X = F, Cl, CN) is analyzed and along with the Zeeman effect provides new kinds of information regarding the structure, potential surface, and charge rearrangements in weakly bound complexes.
