However, by observation of the Stark modulation spectra (SMS), we have confirmed that the effects of polarizability and of the permanent dipole moment are sometimes comparable. Based on this observation, we have sought an estimate of the polarizability. It was also found that the effect of the polarizability on the SMS depends mainly on its isotropic part. Thus, for the B–X electric transition of the ICl molecule, the differences in isotropic polarizabilities were estimated to be Δᾱ=3.4–3.8 Å3 at the 3–1 transition, and Δᾱ=3.6–4.3 Å3 at the 1–0 transition, assuming that the differences of anisotropic polarizability Δαan are within the range 2–9 Å3 for both transitions. Thus, obtained values of Δᾱ were confirmed to be in a reasonable range, in spite of a wide range uncertainty in Δαan.Read More
