Abstract
Fluorescence resulting from the 1s → π* excitation of the N2 molecule has been investigated experimentally and theoretically in the spectral range 165-203 nm. The experiment was performed by photon-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (PIFS) utilizing monochromatized synchrotron radiation from BESSY II with a bandwidth of 70 meV at 400 eV and a fluorescence resolution of 0.1 nm. The high fluorescence resolution enabled us to resolve individual C2Σ+u(v') → X2Σ+g(v'') vibrational bands of the N2+ ion within the Δv = -6 and -7 vibronic band sequences. Unexpected features were observed in the individual fluorescence bands and are explained by calculations accounting for predissociation and molecular rotation.
