 Title: DETERMINATION OF THE DIPOLE MOMENT OF $ArH_{+}$ FROM THE ROTATIONAL ZEEMAN EFFECT BY TUNABLE FAN INFRARED LASER SPECTROSCOPY Creators: Laughlin, K. B.; Blake, Geoffrey A.; Cohen, R. C.; Hovde, D. C.; Saykally, R. J. Issue Date: 1987 Abstract: The first experimental determination of the electric dipole moment of a molecular ion is reported. A tunable far-infrared laser was used to measure the Zeeman effect in low J rotational transitions of $ArH^{+}$ and $ArD^{+}$. Using the theory first derived by Townes $et al.,^{1}$ the dipole was determined from the isotopic dependence of the rotational g-factors. For $ArH^{+}$ and $ArD^{+}$ the current results are: $ArH^{+}, gr = 0.6756(17)$ (10 error), $ArD^{+}$, $g_{r} = 0.3425(14)$, and $ArH^{+}, u = 1.42(40)$ D(corrected for zero point vibrations). The ultimate accuracy of the method is assessed, considering both the required experimental accuracy and the vibrational dependence of the g-factors.
