Pinning down electron correlations in RaF via spectroscopy of excited states and high-accuracy relativistic quantum chemistry
M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, S. G. Wilkins, L. V. Skripnikov +53
We report the spectroscopy of the 14 lowest excited electronic states in the radioactive molecule radium monofluoride (RaF). The observed excitation energies are compared with full…

Ionization potential of radium monofluoride
S. G. Wilkins, H. A. Perrett, S. M. Udrescu +43
The ionization potential (IP) of radium monofluoride (RaF) was measured to be 4.969(2)[10] eV, revealing a relativistic enhancement in the series of alkaline earth monofluorides. T…
