Molecular Multiplets of Alkaline Atoms

Molecules formed from alkali-metal atoms are classified with the apparatus of group dynamics. The groups SO(1,2), SO(3), and SU(ν) are used in turn. Ionization potentials (IP) of diatomic combinations of Li−Cs display symmetry-breaking consistent with the group chain SU(ν) → SU(1). Known IP of triat...

Summary:Molecules formed from alkali-metal atoms are classified with the apparatus of group dynamics. The groups SO(1,2), SO(3), and SU(ν) are used in turn. Ionization potentials (IP) of diatomic combinations of Li−Cs display symmetry-breaking consistent with the group chain SU(ν) → SU(1). Known IP of triatomic combinations of Li−K are used to predict values of three unknown species:  LiLiK, LiNaK, and LiKK have IP of 3.9, 3.8, and 3.6 eV, respectively.
