Zeeman Spectroscopy of TiO: Dual Purpose

• Magnetic “g” factors are useful in unraveling the nature of electronic states of metal containing molecules.– Analyze electronic state composition and

provide evidence for mixing between states.

• Optical Zeeman effect of TiO is used to probe ambient stellar magnetic fields. – Experimentally determine magnetic tuning

rates of molecular energy levels.

Zeeman Effect in Diatomic Molecules:Berdyugina’s Astrophysical Model

mL = -BgLL, mS = -BgSS

Magnetic dipole moment operator is a sum of terms directly proportional to angular momentum operators:

In principle, Zeeman effect can be predicted a priori from field freeeigenvalues and eigenvectors given the g-values:

J JJ MnΛ S nΛ S J M m B

J ( / ( 1)B L SBM g g J J

1. Only diagonal terms in J included2. Predicts linear field dependence3. gS, gL fixed to 2.002 and 1.04. and are rigorously good

Key difference from astrophysical model:Accounts for both linear and non-linear field dependence byincluding off diagonal in J matrix elements

Eff. Hamiltonian absorbs effects of other states into the g parametersMakes allowance for all possible admixtures of electronic statesAdjustable g parameter values glean insight into the perturbations

Conclusion #1: Chemistry

• gL values indicate that C3 is reasonable candidate for state that interacts strongly with both A3 and B3.

• C~A and C~B satisfy rules for S.O. mixing– C3 state differs by one spin-orbital from A3

and B3 states• A3,B3: 82341141

• C3: 823411101

– C3 state differs from A3 and B3 states by one unit of orbital angular momentum.

Conclusion #2: Astrophysics

• Significant -doubling in B30 state requires inclusion of J=+/-1 matrix elements.

• Strong off-diagonal J interaction will impose a non-linear response to magnetic field in the low-J lines. Fitted g-factors necessary to reproduce experimental observations. Unexpected by current astrophysical model.
