2. Franck-Condon factors and r-centroids

Mathematically, one can write for the intensity Iv'v'' of a molecular band for a v'-v'' vibronic transition in emission as
equation196
where D is a constant partly depending on the geometry of the apparatus, Nv' the population of the level v', Ev'v'' the energy quantum, qv ' v'' the FC factors, r v' v'' the r-centroid and tex2html_wrap_inline868 the electronic transition moment.

The square of the overlap integral tex2html_wrap_inline870 is termed as FC factor where tex2html_wrap_inline872 and tex2html_wrap_inline874 are the vibrational wave functions for the upper and lower states respectively. The r-centroid is the unique value of internuclear separation which may be associated with a v'-v'' band defined as

The Morse (1929) potential yields accurate FC factors especially for vibrational transition involving low quantum numbers (Rajamanickam 1995; Nagarajan & Rajamanickam 1996). The computation of the FC factors is made by Bates' (1949) method of numerical integration according to the detailed procedure provided by Rajamanickam et al. (1994). The molecular constants used in the present study are collected from the compilation of Huber & Herzberg (1979) for the system tex2html_wrap_inline890 of SiD, tex2html_wrap_inline892 of SiF and tex2html_wrap_inline894 of SiN. Morse wave functions are calculated at intervals of tex2html_wrap_inline896 for the range of r respectively from 1.29 Å to 1.91 Å, from 1.38 Å\ to 1.80 Å and from 1.41 Å to 2.25 Å for every observed vibrational levels of tex2html_wrap_inline890, tex2html_wrap_inline892 and tex2html_wrap_inline894 states of SiD, SiF and SiN molecules. Integrals appearing in the definitions of FC factors (qv'v'') and r-centroids (rv'v'') are computed numerically and the results are entered respectively in Tables 1 (click here), 2 (click here) and 3 (click here) for the system tex2html_wrap_inline890 of SiD, tex2html_wrap_inline892 of SiF and tex2html_wrap_inline894 of SiN. The wavelength (tex2html_wrap_inline918) data (Bredohl et al. 1976) for D-A system of SiN molecule is also included in Table 3 (click here).
