摘要
We report an experimental study of the K-2 A (1)Sigma(+)(u) state. Long-range levels up to the dissociation limit were observed in a two laser spectroscopic experiment using a highly collimated molecular beam. We derive an analytical potential energy curve for the complete A state including long-range dispersion terms. From these, we obtain radiative atomic lifetimes of 26.74(3) ns for the 4p(1/2) state and 26.39(3) ns for the 4p(3/2) state of K-39. The dissociation energy of the X (1)Sigma(+)(g) ground state with respect to v=0, J=0 is found to be D-0=4404.808(4) cm(-1). (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
