Deflection of a beam of vibrationally excited molecules in an inhomogeneous electric field
A method is proposed for selecting vibrationally excited molecules by deflecting a beam of the molecules in an inhomogeneous electric field. With a molecule of the Ζ Y4 type and Td symmetry as an example, it is shown that vibrationally excited molecules acquire in a sufficiently strong electric field a constant dipole moment comparable in order of magnitude with the dipole moment of the vibrational transition. An estimate of the possible deflection angles is given.
