Electronic spectroscopy of oxygen atoms trapped in solid xenon

چکیده
The electronic spectroscopy of oxygen atoms trapped in solid xenon are reported. Excitation of the solid between 220 and 260 nm leads to two main emissions centered at 3.35 and 1.65 eV, both of which arise from the same upper state. The excitations are assigned to chargetransfer absorptions in interstitial Oh sites; the emitting state, which has a lifetime of 227 ns, is assigned to Xe+O(‘xc+). An avoided crossing between the ionic and covalent Ix+ states, and differential solvation of these states, explains the main trends of the spectroscopy of XeO in the gas and condensed phases. Implications regarding ionic and covalent many-body surfaces are discussed.

متن کاملFluorescence excitation spectroscopy of Xenon doped Neon clusters: size and site effects, and cluster melting
Electronic excitations of Xe atoms and Xe2 molecules embedded in free Ne clusters are studied with time resolved fluorescence excitation spectroscopy. Several distinct absorption bands blueshifted relativ to the first atomic resonance line of Xe are observed and are attributed to Xe or Xe2 located in different sites. For Ne clusters containing less than 300 atoms only interior sites are observe...
متن کاملThe absorption and excitation spectroscopy of matrix-isolated atomic manganese: sites of isolation in the solid rare gases.
This study collects information from absorption and luminescence excitation spectra recorded for Mn atoms isolated in the solid rare gases Ar, Kr, and Xe and presents an analysis of the site occupancy, based on the polarizabilities of the rare gases and the observed spectral shifts. Two thermally stable sites of isolation exist for atomic Mn in solid Ar and Kr, while a single thermally stable s...
