	abstract = {The ground state vibrational energy levels of jet-cooled SiCH and SiCD have been studied by a combination of laser-induced fluorescence and wavelength-resolved fluorescence techniques. The radicals were produced by a pulsed electric discharge at the exit of a supersonic expansion using tetramethylsilane or methyltrichlorosilane as the precursor. Emission spectra have been obtained by pumping both perpendicular and parallel (vibronically induced) bands, providing complementary information on the Si-C stretching and Si-C-H bending modes. Ground state energy levels up to 4000 cm(-1) have been assigned and fitted using a vibrational Hamiltonian that incorporates Renner-Teller, spin-orbit, vibrational anharmonicity, and Fermi resonance interactions. The validity of the derived parameters has been tested using the isotope relations. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.},

	abstract = {Laser excitation spectra of yttrium monohydroxide, YOH, have been recorded in the 500-625 nm wavelength region. Rotational analysis of bands of YOH and YOD has shown that the ground state is (X) over tilde(1)Sigma(+), with the structure r(0)(Y-O) = 1.948(6) Angstrom, r(0)(O-H) = 0.920(6) Angstrom; the bending frequency (nu(2), pi) is 313.73 cm(-1) (237.43 cm(-1) in YOD) and the Y-O stretching frequency (nu(3), sigma(+)) is 673.83 cm(-1) (655.34 cm(-1)). Two excited electronic states have been identified; they are assigned as (B) over tilde(1)Pi (16 449 cm(-1)) and (C) over bar(1)Sigma(+) (18 509 cm(-1)). Unusually strong vibronic coupling through the bending vibration occurs between these two states, which causes their vibrational structures to be highly irregular; assignments have only been possible following extensive wavelength-resolved fluorescence experiments. The vibronic coupling raises the bending frequency of the (C) over tilde(1)Sigma(+) state to 457 cm(-1) and reduces that of the lower Born-Oppenheimer component of the (B) over tilde(1)Pi state (which has A{\textquoteright} symmetry in the C, point group) to the extent that the molecule becomes nonlinear, with a potential barrier at the linear configuration of about 120 cm(-1). The presence of the potential barrier is clearly demonstrated by the level structure of YOD, where the Sigma(+) vibronic component of the 010 vibrational level (linear molecule notation) lies 1.4 cm(-1) below the 000 level. The upper Born-Oppenheimer component, which has A " symmetry, is unaffected; its bending frequency is similar to that of the ground state. Perturbations occur in both the (B) over tilde(1)Pi and (C) over tilde(1)Sigma(+) states; some of these represent local interactions between the two of them, but others are caused by higher vibrational levels of lower-lying "dark" electronic states. Over 40 ground state vibrational levels have been identified for both YOH and YOD from the wavelength-resolved fluorescence spectra. (C) 1999 Academic Press.},

	abstract = {The pressure broadening and shifting coefficients for pure rotational transitions of CO in a He bath gas at very low temperatures are calculated from the best available potential energy surfaces, and compared with very recent measurements by M. M. Beaky, T. M. Goyette, and F. C. De Lucia [J. Chem. Phys. 105, 3994 (1996)]. The results obtained for two recent empirical potentials determined from fits to Van der Waals spectra, and for a recent high quality purely ab initio surface, are consistent with one another. The best of the spectroscopic potentials also yields good agreement with high temperature virial coefficients and transport properties. Predictions from all three of these potentials agree with linebroadening and shifting measurements at temperatures above similar to 20 K, but are in substantial disagreement with the measurements at temperatures below 4 K. At present, the source of this discrepancy is not known. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.},
