and 72 in the infrared regions, observed with apparatus-limited line widths of about 15 kHz
and 0.001 cm-1, respectively. The derived rotational constant, B (proportional to the inverse
moment of inertia), passes through a minimum at N= 9, then rises due to onset of superfluid
effects, and exhibits broad oscillations with maxima at N= 24, 47 and minima at 36, 62. We
interpret these unexpected oscillations as a manifestation of the aufbau of a nonclassical …
