Research paper thumbnail of Ab-Initio Calculations of 27 Electronic States of the BP+ Ion-Molecule

The harmonic vibrational frequency ωe, the inter-nuclear distance at equilibrium Re, the rotational constant Be, the electronic energy with respect to the minimum ground state energy Te, and the permanent dipole moment have also been calculated. Twenty-three new electronic states have been investigated here for the first time. The comparison between the values of the present work and those available in the literature for several electronic states shows a good agreement. These investigated data can be a conducive to further work on BP+ molecular ion in both experimental and theoretical research.

importance for their magneto-optic properties. They are potential materials used for
applications in the domain of optical telecommunications for example. In this work, we have
investigated YIG thin films deposited on substrates of quartz and GGG (gadolinium gallium
garnet or Gd3Ga5O12). Using Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) we characterized
the performed layers (thickness and stoichiometry) in order to correlate the films preparation
conditions with the quality of the final material. We determined the optimal energy of the alpha
particles beam used for RBS measurements and we fitted the experimental spectra using the
SIMNRA simulated code. Our RBS results showed that the films have a stoichiometry close to
that of the starting material. In addition, we found that the film thickness is proportional to
deposition time but inversely proportional to the substrate temperature. Moreover, using x-ray
diffraction (XRD) we determined the annealing effect on the structure of the profile of our thin
films.

The harmonic vibrational frequency e, the inter-nuclear distance at equilibrium Re, the rotational constant Be, the electronic energy with respect to the minimum ground state energy Te, and the permanent dipole moment have been also calculated. A literature review shows a strong correlation between our investigated data and those previously published either theoretically or experimentally. This work introduces, for the first time, a study of 14 new electronic states. Our spectroscopic data can be a conducive to further work on BP molecule in both experimental and theoretical research.
