Low-pressure approach to the formation and study of exciplex systems. Progress report

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7142326· OSTI ID:7142326
Continued fundamental studies are proposed on both the formation and properties of new materials for high-energy, gas-phase lasers. As originally proposed, attention will be focused mainly (but not wholly) on systems which have bound excited states but unbound ground states. An important class of such excimer/exciplex systems has a van der Waals dimer/oligomer as its ground state. In the original proposal for this work, a new method for the preparation of excimers and exciplexes was presented in which van der Waals complexes are formed as intermediates. Systems under study include the excited states of dimers, oxides and halides of inert gases.
