Optical properties of rare-gas fluoride dimers and trimers dissolved in liquid rare gases

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)

Cryogenic rare-gas fluorine solutions are studied with optical excitation provided by excimer laser radiation at 193, 248, and 351 nm. Fluorescences corresponding to dimer (KrF ((D(1/2)..-->..X(1/2)), XeF ((D(1/2)..-->..X(1/2)), XeF ((B(1/2)..-->..X(1/2)), XeF ((C(3/2)..-->..A(3/2))) and trimer (Ar /sub 2/F (, Kr /sub 2/F (, Xe /sub 2/F () transitions are detected in several rare-gas liquid hosts. All of the emission bands detected exhibit red shifts with respect to the gas-phase spectra. With the exception of the XeF ((C..-->..A), Kr /sub 2/F (, and Xe /sub 2/F ( bands, the shifts increase in magnitude with an increase of the atomic number of the host.
