Title: Interaction of the NO 3pπ (C {sup 2}Π) Rydberg state with RG (RG = Ne, Kr, and Xe): Potential energy surfaces and spectroscopy

Abstract

We present new potential energy surfaces for the interaction of NO(C {sup 2}Π) with each of Ne, Kr, and Xe. The potential energy surfaces have been calculated using second order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory, exploiting a procedure to converge the reference Hartree-Fock wavefunction for the excited states: the maximum overlap method. The bound rovibrational states obtained from the surfaces are used to simulate the electronic spectra and their appearance is in good agreement with available (2+1) REMPI spectra. We discuss the assignment and appearance of these spectra, comparing to that of NO-Ar.
