Abstract:

Accurate potential energy curves for the ground electronic states of LiH and

are employed to generate vibrational and rotational levels over a broad range of J values for both systems. The corresponding dipole functions are computed and used to obtain the frequency and intensity distributions of all relevant transitions between bound states for pure vibrational excitations, pure rotational excitations and for dipole allowed rovibrational processes. This extensive set of absorption data for both molecules is employed to locate the most likely region in the infrared spectrum where characteristic lines could be observed. Such data should be useful in experimental attempts to search for LiH and

lines at high redshifts. We found that transitions between ionic levels will be markedly less intense than those for the neutral system and that transitions between rotationally `hot' levels will be markedly more intense than those between low-J levels.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.

If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
