Title: Microwave spectrum of the H/sub 2/D/sup +/ ion: The 2/sub 20/ reverse arrow 2/sub 21/ transition

Journal Article · · J. Chem. Phys.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5987768

The 2/sub 20/ reverse arrow 2/sub 21/ transition of H/sub 2/D/sup +/ was detected by using a dc discharge in a mixture of H/sub 2/ and D/sub 2/ with a hollow cathode cooled to liquid nitrogen temperature. The assignment was made on the basis of chemistry for production, the observed linewidth, and the lowering of the spectral intensity by the external magnetic field. The transition frequency was determined to be 155 987.185 +- 0.037 MHz.
