摘要
The visible electronic spectrum of the nickel hydride B (2)Delta(5/2)-X (2)Delta(5/2)(1,0) and A (2)Delta(5/2)-X (2)Delta(5/2)(1,0) transitions have been recorded with rotational resolution by intracavity laser absorption spectroscopy. The gas-phase NiH molecules were produced in an electric discharge using a nickel hollow cathode in a pure hydrogen atmosphere at 2-3 torr total pressure. Peak positions for NiH isotopologues are presented for both the transitions. (NiH)-Ni-58 and (NiH)-Ni-60 have been observed in sunspots and attempts to observe NiH in stellar spectra are underway.
