Notes
- Abstract:
- Room-temperature rotational spectra are dense and difficult to assign. In this thesis, two
different methods were developed with a waveguide-based spectrometer that operates from
8.7 to 26.5 GHz. The first method, based on previous work by Medvedev and De Lucia,
was used to estimate lower state energies of transitions by performing relative intensity
measurements at a range of temperatures between -20 and +50C. The second method employed
microwave-microwave double resonance measurements to determine level connectivity
between rotational transitions. The relative intensity measurements were not particularly
successful in this frequency, but the information gleaned from the double resonance
measurements can be incorporated into other spectral search algorithms via penalty functions
to simplify the spectral assignment process.
