Abstract
The first spectroscopic results are reported for the 6 9 , 7 1GaAs+ cation radical generated by photoionizing GaAs (g) produced by the pulsed laservaporization of GaAs (s). The GaAs+ cation was trapped in neon matrices at 4 K for ESR investigations which show the ground electronic state to be 4Σ− in agreement with previously reported theoretical calculations. Components of the galliumAtensors are 6 9Ga; A ⊥=184.2(2), A ∥=270 (30) MHz, and for 7 1Ga A ⊥=234.4(2), A ∥=345(35) MHz. The unresolved As hfs was estimated to be less than 8 MHz for the perpendicular direction and the molecular g ⊥ value as 1.9978(2) with g ∥ presumably∼2.00. These nuclear hyperfine parameters are used to obtain a description of the valence electronic structure for GaAs+ which can be compared with recent MCSCF/CI theoretical results.
