1. INTRODUCTION

T.D.S. is the abbreviation of the research project with double translation: “Traitement de Don&es Spectroscopiques” or “Tomsk-Dijon-Spectroscopy project”. It has been undertaken by two groups from Laboratoire de Spectronomie Moleculaire (SMIL), UniversitC de Bourgogne and Laboratory of Theoretical Spectroscopy (LTS), IOA, Tomsk. The T.D.S. project is concerned with high resolution spectroscopy of spherical top molecules and their isotopically substituted derivatives. These molecules are known for the complexity of their spectra as well as for their specific role in advanced fundamental and applied research in molecular physics and quantum chemistry.

As a result of this project, the T.D.S. spectroscopic databank has been created which is of quite different conception than available spectroscopic databases like HITRAN,’ GEISA,’ JPL-catalog,3 ATLAS,“ etc. Whereas existing databases are focused mainly on absorption/transmittance data, the goal of the T.D.S. databank is to provide an access to all available information on vibration- rotation states and to offer a possibility to a user to study various spectroscopic processes, including Raman, Stark, two-photon, etc., under extended conditions.

2. PHILOSOPHY OF THE T.D.S. DATABANK

It is well known that various kinds of spectroscopic processes provide complementary infor- mation on molecular vibration-rotational states and transitions, due to quite different precision% spectral coverage, and selection rules. For example, most information on ro-vibrational states for totally symmetrical vibrations of spherical top molecules comes from Raman spectra, microwave transitions giving much more precise rotational spacings which may help to resolve overlapping lines in the infrared, etc. It seems to be even more important for line intensities especially in the case of dense spectra. Various types of observed spectra are not always directly compatible; frequently they are not in good agreement within “experimental error bars”. Also because of specific instrumental limitations they may not provide a complete spectrum coverage.

In order to use all these pieces of information in full one should convert various observed data to a consistent set of more fundamental characteristics, i.e., to make experimental data reduction using a consistent theoretical model. Ideally, if a theoretical model is perfect, a synthetic spectrum would be more complete than any separate experimental record, since it accumulates information from all available experimental origins. Of course, it will be never absolutely perfect, but the present development in the theory of spherical top spectra allows one to achieve experimental accuracy for most transitions from low-lying vibrational states. So we believe that it is possible to simulate different types of spectroscopic processes to fill spectral gaps which had not been studied experimentally so far, to fix blended lines, to predict new transitions under extended condition, etc.

The above considerations determine the T.D.S. databank philosophy.

How it is Jilled?

Figure 1 illustrates the principle of creation of the T.D.S. databank. All available spectra of various types are processed together using the theoretical model and a least-squares fitting procedure with observed data weighting such as to reflect their individual accuracies and reliability. The results are included in the T.D.S. databank if the precision of data fitting is comparable with the experimental one.

What does it contain?

The T.D.S. data bank includes:

Statistics (precision) Software utilities and Graphic tools.

Spectral line parameters are not stored. They are calculated from the above fundamental data according to user’s requests for specified conditions and transition types.

What can a user get out of it?

Information available from T.D.S. is illustrated by Fig. 2. Statistics include: Obs-Calc for line parameters (when available), standard deviations (Std. dev.) for recovered spectroscopic constants, std. dev. for calculated transitions, distribution of data (including std. dev. for fitted data vs J).

All the information stored in and available from T.D.S. is self-consistent: for all molecules, spectroscopic constants are recovered using the same approach in data reduction with models built according to the same method; stored energy levels and wavefunction mixing coefficients exactly correspond to sets of stored spectroscopic constants; calculated transition frequencies exactly correspond to ro-vibrational energy levels. The error propagation is taken into account through the entire chain of analysis, from observed spectra to fitted constants and further to calculated transitions. Once it is done, the results become easy to exploit. The goal of T.D.S. is to provide powerful tools to access high resolution spectroscopic results on spherical tops: no extensive investment in sophisticated theory or software installation is required by users to exploit up-to-date modeled data for research and applications.

3. THEORETICAL MODEL AND DATA REDUCTION

Such an approach is only meaningful if a theoretical model describing high-resolution spectra of a chosen family of molecules is good enough. Basic requirements for a model in question are fairly obvious. It has to: (a) take into account the variety of intramolecular interactions and molecular symmetry properties in a complete enough way; (b) reproduce fitted observed data with an accuracy close to the experimental precision of high-resolution spectra; (c) be correctly formulated for a solution of “reversed problem” to allow good convergence of a least-square- fitting; its parameters should be stable, statistically well defined and have certain physical meaning to be considered as spectroscopic constants; and (d) provide a reasonable extrapolation (prediction) of data not included in the fits.

From the very beginning, the theory of spherical rotors has been more complex than for other molecules primarily because symmetry properties increase the degeneracies of the levels. Moreover, due to the nature of the chemical bonds, numerous quasi-degenerate states give rise to vast and

complicated resonance perturbations. Near coincidences between the bending vibrational frequen- cies (02 z 04) on the one hand, and between the stretching vibrational frequencies (0, r 03) on the other hand are a common feature for most tetrahedral molecules. Such coincidences characterize the so-called polyad patterns, which should be treated simultaneously due to existence of resonance coupling terms. Practically no excited vibrational state of light spherical tops can be really regarded as isolated. Basically for tetrahedral molecules there are two types of interacting- state polyads. Associated definitions are given in Table 1.

For silane type molecules one has ground vibrational state (GS), bending dyad (B-Dyad), bending

triad (B-Triad), etc., then stretching dyad (S-Dyad), and so on. For methane, the situation is complicated by Fermi-resonances due to additional near coincidences between stretching vibrations and two quanta of bending vibrations o, E o3 z 20, E 204, the states concerned being coupled by large interaction terms. As a result, the five vibrational states located around 3000 cm-’ form an interacting system called Pentad.

The theoretical method for an account of the dramatic effects of perturbations on line positions and strengths satisfying the above condition (a) has been developed by the Dijon group,w using the formalism of irreducible tensor operators. For vibrational states coupled by resonance interactions the above requirement (c) becomes particularly important and difficult to fulfil. Phenomenological spectroscopic parameters, being highly correlated, apparently lose a physical meaning: they were statistically poorly determined and showed dramatic discrepancies in values obtained by different authors. The study of ambiguities of phenomenological mathematical models (e&ctive Hamiltonians) for interacting states, explaining above discrepancies, has been initiated by the Tomsk group ‘IS’~ in connection with contact transformations for a quasi-degenerate case.‘0*‘5 Later on, a development of models,‘3*‘4 satisfying the requirement (c) for various polyads of spherical tops?, becomes a subject of joint efforts by both group~,‘~-~~ partly in the frame of the T.D.S. project. It allowed the introduction, in the practice of data reduction, the models containing reliable spectroscopic constants for spherical tops. Applications to actual fitting of experimental spectra showed the following consequences:‘7-22.2426 (i) convergence of least -square fit is drastically improved; (ii) the number of adjustable parameters may be considerably decreased without deterio- ration of the quality of calculations; (iii) recoveredparameters are much better determined statistically and much less correlated. A detailed description of the theoretical model for spherical tops may be found in the recent review in Ref. 9 and also in Ref 16.

Examples of recent data reductions for spherical top spectra may be found in Refs. 20,21,24-28. Typically, the above condition (b) proved to be satisfied: an experimental accuracy of high-resol- ution measurements was achieved in calculations (10e3 to 5 x 10-5cm-’ for line positions in IR and 100 kHz in MW, as well as 3% in best analysis for line intensities). Theoretical models were also successfully validated against predictions of new transitions which were confirmed by later measurements [the condition (d)]. The review of available analysis of spherical top spectra will be done separately.29

4. ORGANIZATION OF THE DATABANK-OPTIONS AND POSSIBILITIES OF THE GRAPHICAL SOFTWARE PACKAGE

The T.D.S. DOS version provides user friendly interface with multiple window, menus, colored plots, and real-time simulations of spectroscopic processed mentioned above. It includes commands and parameters for the following features:

Interactive numerical data handling (energy levels; transitions; statistics; spectroscopic constant sort. Select functions, export functions). Interactive graphical data display [energy diagrams; resonance mixing of wavefunctions; synthesis of spectra (stick/Gauss/Lorentz/Voigt/Transmission). Zoom functions, hard copy functions]. On-line information (references: experiment/theory/analysis). On line help.

The T.D.S. interface is built in such a way that it does not require any particular professional knowledge in the domain of spherical top spectra from the user. The user is guided through various options and possibilities by the program itself. At any step he is prompted to choose from several possibilities. These offers are visualized as far as possible to make them easy to understand. In an “educational period” he may choose between them or “zoom” and observe a sequence of pictures one after another. At any time a user may change his mind and go some steps back in order to correct his choices which are stored in memory. Alternatively, being more prepared, a user may input the required conditions, get energy levels, resonance mixing coefficients of wavefunctions, spectroscopic parameters, line positions, line strengths, together with associated statistics in a numerical form, write them in a file for personal use, print them out, make a copy screen for pictures and so on.

tThe contribution to theoretical studies by the Moscow University group is acknowledged: sf papers (13-l 6) and references therein.

The principal scheme of the T.D.S. databank and of associated software package is presented by the following diagram (Fig. 3). In order to avoid complications, it gives only basic idea of possibilities without going into the details of options and commands which are more numerous.

When the T.D.S. package is run the user faces the Starting Menu with 3 basic choices: SUMMARY, VIBRATIONAL LEVELS and BANDS (Theoretical review is optional). VIBRATION LEVELS and BANDS represent two principal graphical screens for management of the package and spectroscopic information. The idea of both screens is to start with a bird’s_eye overview and then provide the user with successively deeper and deeper insight to the detail.

VIBRATIONAL LEVELS screen

This screen is designed for spectroscopists or other users who are aware of some basic elements of molecular quantum states theory. It displays vibrational energy levels for every molecule included in the databank. Selected molecules are always highlighted [Fig. 4(b)]. For a “highlighted” molecule one can get more information (top menu). The ZOOM option magnifies a vibrational level picture [central window in Fig. 4(a), (b)] and displays symmetry labeling, splitting of degenerate sublevels due to intramolecular interactions, and energy values in wavenumbers.

The option MOLECULE provides basic information about the chosen molecule [Fig. 4(b)] and also access to the list of AVAILABLE PREDICTIONS. Further, one can choose any vibration level

or set of levels and ask for vibration-rotation energies [Fig. 5(a)] and resonance mixing coefficients of wavefunctions (proportional to dashes in different colors for level patterns) using the option

Z&+0,* The same information in a numerical form is provided by the option T/IEW. Its sub-option SET FILTER/observed only displays those v&rot levels which were accessible in various experimental studies carried out so far. Figure 5(b) demonstrates that experimental information is much less complete compared to that available from T.D.S. The option STARK runs calculations of Stark-splittings once an external electric field is specified.

Starting from the energy level picture the user can inquire for any accessible transition between vib-rot levels of chosen vibrational states of polyads (option TRANSITIONS). He is guided by the program. After both upper and lower sets of states, as well as the type of needed transition (ZR/MW/Raman), have been specified the system initiates the calculation of the spectrum for a chosen temperature. The calculated stick spectrum is displayed in Spectrum survey window either in graphical [Fig. 6(a)] or numerical mode [Fig. 6(b)] VZEW option. Logarithmic scale for intensities in the stick-mode is available.

Together with calculated frequencies and intensities the column Obs-Calc and estimated precision of theoretical predictions (both in mK = 0.001 cm-‘) are presented [Fig. 6(b)]. Empty spaces in Obs-Calc column correspond to predicted lines, which have not been fitted or measured so far. Such lines correspond to red sticks in the picture of survey spectrum whereas fitted (observed) lines correspond to black sticks. The graphical mode offers a swift possibility to magnify a scale (ZOOM-IN option). The marked area in Fig. 6(a) is to be immediately displaced in an additional window in more detail. This is especially convenient for the investigation of dense spectral ranges, Q-branches, hot bands and so on.

After the required spectral range has been chosen by the ZOOM-IN option, one may run spectrum calculations (the command PROFILE) with 3 choices for the form of the spectral contour (options GAUSS, LORENTZ, and VOZGT). The example of a plot for the absorption coefficient is presented in Fig. 7(a). For IR and MW transitions, one can use the TRANSMITTANCE option to get colored plots of the type given at Fig. 7(b).

The collisional pressure broadening parameter, the pressure value, and the optical pathlength (for transmittance) are to be specified in the SET PARAMETERS option.

BANDS screen

This screen was designed for users which have no special interest in molecular quantum ro-vibrational states and are motivated mostly by applications. Starting from this screen one can make the same simulations of spectra as described above, through a dialog with the system in a different way, but also to get access to additional information (advanced statistics, spectra of gaseous mixtures, and two-photon laser excitations). The BANDS screen allows one to display bands available from the database, to display spectroscopic parameters for selected bands, and to calculate spectra for various molecules or mixtures of molecules and for different transition types, under desired physical conditions.

This screen contains several menus (Fig. 8). The menu in the left part of the window displays the list of molecules included in the database. The last item of this menu is Mixture. If this item has been chosen the Mixture composition dialog box appears. Using this dialog box, one can give concentrations for different molecules in the mixture. The menus in the right part of the window displays the set of available transition types.

When both molecule and transition type are chosen, an information window appears. This window informs the user about molecules, concentrations and transition type chosen. Then a BANDS OF.. . window appears. It contains the number of calculated lines in each band for the fixed intensity cut-off, the band spectral coverage, and the band intensity. Using this window the user can select bands or display spectroscopic parameters or statistics. The option STATISTICS is available both in graphical [Fig. 9(a)] and numerical form [Fig. 9(b), the command VIEW].

The graphical Statistics window displays the number of fitted experimental data [histogram and right-hand side numbers of Y-axis in Fig. 9(a)] as well as the standard deviation of the fit [upper curve and left-hand side units in Fig. 9(a)], and the theoretical estimate of the model accuracy (lower curve) vs the rotational quantum number J. In the presented example, the methane v4 band,

Fig. 8. BANDS screen. The picture corresponds to the choice of Mixfure item in the MOLECULE window and of Infrared item in the TRANSITIONS window. The central BANDS OF window displays a

fraction of the list of bands for the second item in the mixture (‘“CH,). available from T.D.S.

the standard deviation of the line position calculations is 0.00006cm ’ (which is of the order of experimental accuracy); line intensities for this band were fitted with r.m.s. residual <3”/0.

The menu in the right part of the BANDS screen (Fig. 8) offers a possibility to switch between linear absorption processes and laser excitation processes. The option TWO-PHOTON (available in the numerical mode only) provides a spectrum survey for two-photon transitions. An example of a calculated stick-survey for Raman transitions in logarithmic scale is presented in Fig. 10(a). About 90% of these predicted lines are “red” i.e., they have not yet been measured. An example

of synthetic Raman spectrum is given in Fig. IO(b). The window SUMMARY provides the supplementary information concerning basic features of

the T.D.S. package, distinctions from HITRAN or GIESA, references, hardware requirements, authors and so on. The example giving an idea of T.D.S.-team involvement is presented in Fig. 11.

Working with the T.D.S. package consists essentially of sequences of interactive manipulations with a set of graphic tools: windows, menus, viewers, etc. All screens offer context-sensitive help facilities. For the full description of tools and operations we refer to the User Manual.

5. AVAILABLE SPECTROSCOPIC INFORMATION

A detailed presentation of all data available from T.D.S., experimental origins used in a data reduction, as well as a complete reference list are beyond the scope of the present paper and will be presented separately (Champion et a1’9). The reader is referred to original papers in order to get more information for experimental high-resolution studies and data reductions of spherical top molecules. Just note that r.m.s. for positions are generally ranging from IO--” to a few lO_~‘cm ’

6. HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

The T.D.S. DOS-version is designed for: PC/AT Compatible with Math Co-processor, series 80386 or higher; DOS 3.0 or later version, Microsoft compatible mouse;? 20 Mbyte Hard Disk (or more for data storage depending on user’s specific needs); 1.44 Mbyte 3.5” or 1.2 Mbyte 5.25” Diskette Drive (Software installation and Data Input); and a majority of Laser Printers, Ink-Jet printers or Graphics Dot Matrix Printers which are suitable for hardcopy outputs.

7. CONCLUSION

Applications for T.D.S. may include:

Education /Training. In molecular physics, quantum chemistry, physical chemistry, laser physics. There exists a certain “barrier” in understanding spherical top spectra because of sophisticated

symmetry considerations, tensorial formalism, and specific labelling of states and transitions. We hope that the T.D.S. databank will serve as a tool facilitating the access to high resolution spectroscopic results on spherical tops. The user can choose any type of accessible transition between molecular state explicitly displayed on the screen and to make a calculation of associated spectra (under conditions significantly wider than standard laboratory conditions) without any knowledge of tetrahedral formalism or even of selection rules.

More sophisticated applications may rise from experience. Spectroscopic Applications. Analysis, laser spectroscopy, atmospheric optics, optical standards,

spectroscopic atlases. Environment Studies. Atmospheric physics (remote sensing), data supply for specific databases

(HITRAN, GEISA etc.). Photochemistry. Laser excitation, multiphoton processes. Demonstration DOS-versions of T.D.S. package (including the automatized version which runs

itself and shows “movies” of all successive options one after another) will be available through an “electronic publication” (in preparation) or by request from the authors.

Future developments

The T.D.S. data bank will be periodically updated when new analyses are performed. In the near future, recent results in the pentad reanalysis2’ of 12CH4 will be included as well as low J data on the upper polyads (o&ad, tetradecad) of this molecule. Also recent analyses33 of the lower states of CF, will be incorporated.

tAl1 commands of the T.D.S. package may be equally performed either using the mouse or the keyboard.

418 VL. G. Tvuwanv et al

We plan to extend the T.D.S. databank to other types of molecules, primarily to symmetric and asymmetric top isotopic modifications of the present family of molecules. Also the implementation of extended version for MS Windows and X Window system on UNIX Workstations is planned. The possibility of importing experimental spectra into the program to be compared with synthetic spectra will be implemented in the Windows-version.

A complete library of FORTRAN (ANSI 77) programs is being tested on SUN, HP and IBM workstations for providing a complementary tool of the present PC package in the field of spherical tops. This software is designed to allow the user to make predictions of spectra under various conditions controlled by a few standard parameters. It comprises a single UNIX command “STDS” with seven parameters following the simple syntaxt: STDS molecule/polyad Jmax Fmin

Fmax Tvib Trot Smin,

where molecule/polyad specifies the name of the file containing all spectroscopic information needed to calculate the spectrum of the desired molecule and polyad (essentially Hamiltonian and Transition effective parameters). Jmax is the maximum value of the angular momentum. Fmin and Fmax specify the lower and upper frequency limits. Tvib and Trot specify the vibrational and rotational temperatures, respectively. Smin is the intensity lower limit of the calculated spectrum.

The limitation of these programs are of two kinds: The first limitation is fundamental; although extrapolations to high J values are generally technically possible, the physical reliability of the predictions has to be carefully examined in each situation. The second limitation is related to hardware configuration: complex band systems may involve quite numerous lines arising from perturbation allowed transitions. In such cases, setting Smin = 0, for instance can generate very large files. Similarly setting relatively large Jmax can lead to time consuming calculations.
