Radiative transitions between Rydberg states of polar diatomic molecule. Part I: Linearly polarized light

摘要

With the help of a simple semi-analytical procedure the dipole matrix elements for Rydberg electron-rotational transitions in the SO molecule are calculated with account for dipole moment of rotating core. It results in non-zero matrix elements even for some transitions which are forbidden in conventional models of molecular Rydberg states. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
