Je. Rubensson et al., ELECTRONIC DECAY OF VIBRATIONALLY SELECTED CORE-EXCITED STATES IN MOLECULAR N(2), The Journal of chemical physics, 99(3), 1993, pp. 1633-1636
We have measured and analyzed the vibrational fine structure of the el
ectronic participator decay of the 1s-1 1pi(g) state in gas-phase N2.
The monochromator resolution allowed us to limit the vibrational excit
ations in the excited state so that unequivocally assignable vibration
al fine structure in the decay spectra could be resolved. The excitati
on-emission process is shown to be well-described within the two-step
Franck-Condon model, and the data represents individual decay of vibra
tionally selected core excited states.
