Radiative transition probabilities for the B /sup 1/Pi--X /sup 1/. sigma. /sup +/ and B /sup 1/Pi--A /sup 1/. sigma. /sup +/ bands of /sup 7/LiH
The recently reported (J. Chem. Phys. 66, 5412 (1977)) hybrid potential curves for the X /sup 1/..sigma../sup +/ and A /sup 1/..sigma../sup +/ states of LiH and the herein reported hybrid potential curve for the B /sup 1/Pi state of LiH are combined with the ab initio transition moments of Docken and Hinze (J. Chem. Phys. 57, 4936 (1972)) to calculate radiative transition probabilities between all B /sup 1/Pi (v'< or =2) and all X /sup 1/..sigma../sup +/ (v''< or =23) and A /sup 1/..sigma../sup +/ (v''< or =26) vibrational levels of /sup 7/LiH. The strongest single emission band found is the B /sup 1/Pi (v'=2) ..-->..X /sup 1/..sigma../sup +/ (v''=23) band between the highest ''long-range'' levels in each potential. For all B /sup 1/Pi levels the emission is dominated by B..-->..X rather than B..-->..A emission.
