HIGH-RESOLUTION INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY OF SrF

Author Institution: Department of Chemistry, University of Waterloo Centre for Molecular Beams and Laser ChemistryThe infrared spectrum of gaseous SrF was recorded using a Bruker Fourier transform spectrometer. The thermal emission spectrum of SrF was obtained at $1550^{\circ} C$ with Si;B detector at a resolution of $0.01 cm^{-1}$. Vibrational-rotational bands of the $X^{2}\Sigma^{+}$ ground state were observed in the region between $1400-550 cm^{-1}$. A rotational analysis of the spectrum will be presented
