Motion of the Nuclei
Although the electrons are light, their net angular momentum isnot much smaller than that of the nuclei.
Nuclei move as a symmetric top.

For a strong electric field, the wave functions are either pointed up or down and one expects a linear Stark effect.

“At present we have no explanation why the best fit is obtained with the resonant transition calculated with eq 2.”
In this work we investigate the possibility that a novel He-NO van der Waals complex is responsible for this behavior.

Because the van der Waals energy must be much less thanthe rotational energy, the interaction may be treated as a perturbation
to the NO spin rotational Hamiltonian

For the case of dipole-flipping transitions with
|MHe|=JHe= |M| = ½, W=3/2, this reduces to
This theory leads to a linear Stark effect that follows a simple vector model at low fields.

Our model explains lines that Caceras et al have assigned to a J=3/2, J=5/2 transition.
It also does a reasonable job predicted the substructure surrounding these lines.
For the JU = 1/2 line, this vector model can not explain the observation.

• The He-NO bond distance required to suppress the parity splitting leads to a polarized He atom that changes the magnitude of the Stark interaction by much more than 0.2%.

1) A simple model indicates that the polarizability of a He-NO complex may be much greater than that of NO and gives reasonable agreement to the J=3/2 and J=5/2 lines observed by Caceres et al.
2) We cannot explain the magnitude of the linear Stark effect observed by Caceres et al and suspect their data analysis may be flawed. It is likely that their data is probing a known rather than exotic He-NO species.
3) He-[eEDM molecule] clusters formed in laser ablation sources may have increased polarizability and hence be worth investigating.
