Oscillator strengths of 23 electric-dipole-allowed bands of (14)N(2) in the 86.0-89.7 nm (111,480-116,280 cm(-1)) region are reported from synchrotron-based photoabsorption measurements at an instrumental resolution of 6.5x10(-4) nm (0.7 cm(-1)) full width at half maximum. The absorption spectrum comprises transitions to vibrational levels of the c(n) (1)Pi(u) (n=3,4), o(3) (1)Pi(u), and c(n+1)(') (1)Sigma(u)(+)(n=3,4) Rydberg states as well as the b (1)Pi(u) and b(') (1)Sigma(u)(+) valence states. The J dependences of band f-values derived from the experimental line f-values are reported as polynomials in J(J+1) and are extrapolated to zero nuclear rotation in order to facilitate comparisons with the results of coupled Schrodinger equation calculations. Many bands in this study are characterized by a strong J dependence of the band f-values and display anomalous P-, Q-, and R-branch intensity patterns. Predissociation line widths are reported for six bands. The experimental f-value and line-width patterns inform current efforts to develop comprehensive spectroscopic models for N(2) that incorporate rotational effects and predissociation mechanisms, and are critical for the construction of realistic atmospheric radiative-transfer models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
