Abstract

The ultraviolet emission spectrum of GeH has been examined following the two photon-initiated dissociation of germane (GeH₄) at 248 nm. The most prominent peaks lying between ∼250 and 340 nm are tentatively assigned to B ₂Σ (v′ = 0)→X ²Π _1/2,3/2 (v″) transitions. From this premise, the vibrational constants for the X ²Π states have been estimated to be ω_e = (1949 ± 5) cm^-1, ω _ex_e = 16.5 ± 2.0 cm^-1, and ω_ey_e = (0.7 ± 0.3) cm^-1. Also, the radiative lifetime of the lowest vibrational levels of the GeH A ²Δ state in transitions to ground has been measured to be 12 ± 2 ns.
