These latter two types of molecules are of interest for the spectroscopy as well as for the dynamics communities, because of the nearly degenerate doublets (l-type or Λ type doubling), which are attributed to either vibrational or electronic contribution on the internuclear projection of total angular momentum J

 

lタイプ:振動準位が縮退していることで、状態が2つあること。

λタイプ:電子準位が縮退していることで、状態が2つあること。
