Abstract

We report in this paper the first observation of electronic emission spectra from the tungsten monohydride radical. This emission originates from the plasma generated by a dc discharge through hydrogen flowing between a tungsten anode rod and a tungsten cathode nozzle of a hydrogen atom beam source. By analysis of this spectrum, rotational constants and bond distances have been derived for this radical and its deuteriated analogue. These data should be useful in assessing the accuracy of calculation methodology developed for relativistic systems.
