Perturbations in the spectra of diatomic molecules

This book reveals the interrelationships between apparently unrelated observables, electronic states, and molecules. This book emphasizes: introduction to the theory of rotating-vibrating diatomic molecules with nonzero spin and orbital angular momenta; simplification and calculation of matrix elements of all of the important terms in the molecular Hamiltonian; methods for reduction of the exact Hamiltonian to molecular fit-parameters; sizes of and relationships among molecular constants and perturbation parameters; and specific examples: intensity effects, predissociation, and autoionization
