- Time-domain and frequency-domain spectroscopic experiments have been performed on the (4ppi)L(1)Pi, v = 0 Rydberg state in three isotopomers of carbon monoxide. Accurate values for the excited state lifetimes of the f-parity components have been determined: tau((CO)-C-12-O-16) = 1.08 +/- 0.05 ns, tau((CO)-C-13-O-16) = 72 +/- 10 ps and tau((CO)-C-13-O-18) = 29 +/- 6 ps. The spectral resolution in the frequency-domain experiment goes as far as the limit imposed by the natural lifetime; Q-branch lines, or f-parity components of the heavier isotopes, are resolved for the first time. Highly accurate transition frequencies are determined in a molecular beam experiment using comparison and interpolation with a saturated iodine reference standard. The results reveal a number of perturbations and predissociation mechanisms, displaying a high degree of complexity in the energetic region of the 4p Rydberg states of CO with strong isotopic effects.

- The lifetime of the b (1)Pi(u)(v=1) state in N-14(2) has been determined experimentally using a laser-based pump-probe scheme and an exceptionally long lifetime of 2.61 ns was found. Semiempirical close-coupling calculations of the radiative lifetime, which include Rydberg-valence interactions in the singlet manifold, are consistent with this large value, giving a value of 3.61 ns and suggesting a predissociation yield of similar to28% for this level of the b state.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Excited-state lifetimes for a number of vibronic states of (1)Pi(u) symmetry in molecular nitrogen have been determined experimentally in a laser-based pump-probe scheme using a coherent and tunable extreme ultraviolet source based on harmonic generation. States investigated in N-14(2) were b(1)Pi(u)(v = 6-9), of valence character, and c(3)(1)Pi(u)(v = 1) and o(3)(1)Pi(u)(v = 1), of Rydberg character. In the case of b(1)Pi(u)(v = 7) and c(3)(1)Pi(u)(v = 1), rotationally dependent predissociation was observed. States studied in N-15(2) were b(1)Pi(u)(v = 5) and c(3)(1)Pi(u)(v = 1); in addition, lifetimes of the c(4)'Sigma(u)(+)(v = 0,1) and b'(1)Sigma(u)(+)(v = 1) states were determined. The lifetimes show a dependence on the vibrational quantum number and isotope. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
