Description

We report a study of the C 3Π--X 3Π band system of the SiC radical. Jet-cooled SiC is produced by a laser vaporization/pulsed beam source and is probed by pulsed laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectroscopy. Vibrational term energies and rotational constants are determined for v'=0--8 of the C state and for v double-prime=0--5 of the X state. The spectroscopic constants for the C state are Te=22 830.4(9) cm-1, ωe=615.7(8) cm-1, and re=1.919(3) A; for the X state, ωe=965.16(24) cm-1 and re=1.7182(2) A
