Rotational spectrum of jet-cooled HfO2 and HfO
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The rotational spectrum of jet-cooled hafnium dioxide obtained by laser ablation of a solid ceramic rod has been investigated by Fourier-transform microwave spectroscopy in the 8 to 28 GHz frequency range. Rotational transitions within the ground and several excited vibrational states of the lowest vibrational mode of the molecule have been assigned. The resulting spectra have been fit, yielding rotational parameters for the five most abundant isotopomers of HfO2. Centrifugal distortion effects are noticeable even for the lowest-J transitions. Very large quadrupole coupling effects for the isotopomers with nuclear quadrupole moments (179Hf (I=9/2) and Hf177 (I=7/2)) have been accounted for using the diagonal elements of the nuclear quadrupole coupling tensor. A ground-state effective C2v geometry has been obtained for HfO2, yielding ro(Hf–O)=1.7764(4) Å and ∠(O–Hf–O)=107.51(1)°. The electric dipole moment has been determined for HfO2180 from Stark-effect measurements, giving μ=26.42(3)×10-30C⋅m [7.92(1) D]. Ab initio calculations using density functional theory and relativistic core potentials are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental results. Finally, in the course of this investigation, the rotational spectrum of the diatomic molecule, HfO, has also been reexamined, and new results for vibrational satellites (up to v=18 in some cases) of the J=1←0 rotational transition are reported. A vibrational analysis using Le Roy’s form of the Dunham expansion has allowed the determination of atomic mass-dependent Born–Oppenheimer breakdown parameters for both atoms of HfO.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
