Molecular Energy States

  • Chapter
Molecular and Laser Spectroscopy

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics ((CHEMICAL,volume 50))

  • 227 Accesses

Abstract

In this chapter, starting from the equation of motion for molecules, we briefly summarize the formulas for molecular energy states and levels, including molecular electronic states, vibration-rotational levels and Rydberg states. We treat the energy-level shifts and splittings due to the intramolecular dynamics and angular-momentum couplings as individual perturbations, and list the selection rules for various molecular transitions. Fundamentals and discussions may be found in [2.1, 2].
