Motivation
Iridium containing molecules
•IrSi?
Previous work
*
•Prof Morse’s group: Recorded 31 electronic bands
Recorded high resolution LIF of the (6,0)[16.0]1.5 - X2D5/2
bands for 191&193IrSi (lowest angular momentum quantum
number)
Analyzed, determined the fine and hyperfine parameters Recorded & Analyzed Stark spectra to determine the
molecular dipole moments for the X2D5/2 and [16.0]1.5(v=6)
states
Experiment method
Ablation laser
CW dye laser
Skimmer
Stark Plates
Well collimatedmolecular beamRot.Temp.<20 K
Electric field ~ 4000 V/cmResolution ~30 MHz
Gated photon counter
(6,0)[16.0]1.5-X2D5/2 band
Large isotopic shifts (1.5cm-1) between 191IrSi, 193IrSi Formed a head quickly due to large difference in rotational constantsHighly overlapped
Complicated spectrum
Observation
Need to understand the field free spectrum to be able to study the Stark spectra
(6,0)[16.0]1.5-X2D5/2 band
Observation (cont.)
Resolution ~30 MHz
1. Effective Hamiltonian
Heff = Hso+ Hrot + Hmhf(Ir)+ HeQq(Ir)
Modeling the (6,0)[16.0]1.5-X2D5/2 band system
Ir(I=3/2)
Parameters: B, h5/2(191,193Ir) and eQq0(191,193Ir) for the
X2D5/2(v=0) state,T00, B, h3/2(191,193Ir) and eQq0(191,193Ir) for the
(6,0)[16.0]1.5

Facing the Challenge
•9 field free transitions in
P(5/2) splits into ~30 intense
DMJ= DMF transitions, and
numerous weaker DMJ DMF
transitions under applied
electric field•Fully resolved at voltage
higher than 4000V/cm
(impossible)
What to expect?
m(X2D5/2)=1.60(7) D
1. Comparison with isovalent IrC
2. Electronegativity
Si (8.15eV)<Ir (9.0eV) Possible to have small negative dipole moment
Expect small positive dipole moment

•IrCl
•IrO
•IrS
Predict the reduced dipole moment of other Ir-containing molecule
Summary
Recorded high resolution LIF of the (6,0)[16.0]1.5 -
X2D5/2 bands for 191&193IrSi
Analyzed, determined the fine and hyperfine
parameters Recorded & Analyzed Stark spectra to determine the
molecular dipole moments for the X2D5/2 and
[16.0]1.5(v=6) states
Compared reduce dipole moment of other Ir-containing
molecules with IrSiPredict the reduced dipole moment of other Ir-
containing molecule
High level relativistic calculations are in good
agreement with observed dipole moment and eQq0
(mag. hyperfine?)
