“…O 7 Be apresenta t 1/2 de 53,3 dias, sendoútil portanto para estudar a erosão causada em um solo utilizado recentemente por agricultores [46,47], bem como avaliar a sedimentação em rios de poluentes oriundos de indústrias [48][49][50]. O método de medida consiste basicamente de uma comparação entre as densidades de atividade radioativa entre duas medidas, de um sítio de referência (sem ter sofrido erosão nem deposição) e de uma amostra pontual de uma região afetada [47].…”

This work has mainly focused on the spectroscopic characterization of the beryllium halides, BeCl, BeBr and BeI. Knowledge about these species was substantially increased through the calculation of parameters that are difficult to access in an experimental characterization. As the few experimental works carried out for these halides presented inconclusive results for the C 2 Σ + − X 2 Σ + transition, we carried out accurate calculations of transition probabilities, thus offering a new interpretation about the existing data, including also results for other electronic transitions as yet unknown. Calculations using the method Multireference Configuration Interaction (MRCI) along with correlation-consistent basis set functions of quintuple-zeta quality were used to obtain the potential energy curves associated with the first and second dissociation channels for the doublet and quartet states of these species. Spectroscopic parameters such as vibrational constants w e , w e x e , the rotational constant B e and the equilibrium distance were determined for the low-lying states. Furthermore, we also calculated the excitation energy (T e) and the dissociation energy (D e) with and without the inclusion of spin-orbit effects. The obtained results significantly expanded our knowledge about the electronic states of this species. For states already investigated experimentally, there was good consistency between the calculated and the experimental parameters. The energy differences between the two channels in the dissociation limit for BeCl, BeBr and BeI molecules obtained in this work were: 21835, 21889 and 21998 cm −1 , in agreement with the corresponding experimental results of the three species (21 980 cm −1). The theoretical determination of the dissociation energy D 0 was very satisfactory. We obtained 92.24, 72.77, and 51.75 kcal • mol −1 , respectively, for the BeCl, BeBr and BeI molecules including spin-orbit effects, compared to 91.78, 71 and 57 kcal • mol −1. For a more complete analysis of the potential energy curves, they also were obtained considering relativistic effects. The calculated spin-orbit coupling constants in the equilibrium region of BeCl, BeBr and BeI molecules were respectively 41, 207 and 324 cm −1 , in good agreement with the experimental results: 52.8, 198, and 361.1 cm −1 , respectively. The calculated spin-orbit splitting in the dissociation limit was 823, 3446 and 6975 cm −1 (BeCl, BeBr and BeI) also consistent with the experimental results: 882, 3685.24 and 7603.15 cm −1 , respectively. Additionally, a detailed analysis of the dissociation channels of HBeP and BePH molecules was performed. The construction of a relative energies diagram allowed us to derive a set of important data for all the possible dissociation channels. In particular, it is shown the relative stability and the energy in the dissociation limit. For the energy in the dissociation limit, we obtained results consistent with the experimental values. Our calculations for the first three dissociation channels HBeP = H + Be res...
