| Abstract |
Laser-induced fluorescence spectra of the c(3)sigma(+)(v(c), J(c) = N-c) -> a(3)sigma(+) (va, Na = Jc +/- 1) transitions excited from the ground X1E+ state of 39K133Cs molecule were recorded with Fourier-transform spectrometer IFS125-HR (Bruker) at the highest achievable spectral resolution of 0.0063 cm(-1). Systematic study of the hyperfine structure (HFS) of the a(3)sigma(+) state for levels with va E [0 , 27] and Na E [24 , 90] shows that the splitting monotonically increases with va. The spectroscopic study was supported by ab initio calculations of the magnetic hyperfine interaction in X 1 E+ and & nbsp; 3(3)sigma E++ states. The discovered variation of the electronic matrix elements with the internuclear distance R is in a good agreement with the observed va-dependencies of the HFS. Overall set of available experimental data on the a3E+ state was used to improve the potential energy curve particularly near a bottom, providing the refined dissociation energy De = 267 . 21(1) cm -1. The ab initio HFS matrix elements, combined with the empirical X1 sigma+ and a(3)sigma(+) PECs in the framework of the invented coupled-channel deperturbation model, reproduce the experimental term values of both ground states within 0.003 cm -1 accuracy up to their common dissociation limit.
