Potential energy surface of the Rydberg states of the NO molecule in an intense IR radiation field

摘要

A method taking into account valence (non-Rydberg) and dissociative configurations has been developed for calculation of potential energy surfaces of the NO molecule in an intense IR radiation field. The resonance rovibronic structure of the Rydberg molecule-laser field quantum system has been analyzed within the steady-state formalism of the radiation collision matrix using multi-channel quantum defect theory. Special conditions for field control of predissociation involving intermediate Rydberg and valence states have been formulated.
