The measured line positions have allowed the rotational constant for each of these isotopic modifications to be determined as $B(^{194}Pt^{28}Si)=4854.3637$ MHz, $B(^{195}Pt^{28}Si)=4851.2175$ MHz, and $B(^{196}Pt^{28}Si)=4848.1152$ MHz. Work is currently under way to determine the dipole moment of PtSi. en_US dc.format.extent 83106 bytes dc.format.mimetype image/jpeg dc.language.iso English en_US dc.publisher Ohio State University en_US dc.title PURE ROTATIONAL SPECTRUM OF THE TRANSITION METAL SILICIDE PtSi en_US dc.type article en_US
