Resonance Raman and fluorescence spectra of chlorine dioxide in argon,krypton, xenon,and nitrogen matrices at 16 K

Laser excitation studies of matrix-isolated ClO₂ at 16 K using the 4579, 4765, 4880, and 5145 Å argon ion lines and argon, krypton, xenon, and nitrogen matrices were conducted. Quenching of fluorescence by the matrix was evidenced by the observation of displaced bands in the Ar, Kr, and N₂ work and increased background in the Xe studies. An intense progression in ν₁ of ClO₂ with regularly decreasing intensities out to 6ν₁ observed in solid Ar with 4579 Å excitation was attributed to the resonance Raman effect. Shorter resonance Raman progressions were observed in Xe and N₂ matrices.

Bound state energy of the compound states of the rare gases has been computed in the Hartree-Fock approximation. Results obtained for neon and xenon well agree with the experimental data and their usual interpretation. Different behaviour is shown by argon and krypton.     

Optical characteristics of the plasma of a nanosecond atmospheric-pressure volume discharge in a nonuniform electric field

Optical characteristics of the plasma of nanosecond volume discharges in air, nitrogen, krypton, argon, neon, and Ar/N₂ and Ar/Xe mixtures at elevated pressures are investigated. The discharges are excited in a gap with a cathode of small curvature radius. The waveforms and spectra of plasma emission from discharges in different gases in the 230-to 600-nm spectral range are measured. Optical generation in an Ar/Xe mixture is achieved at an active length of 1.5 cm. A comparison is performed of the spectral characteristics of the emission from nitrogen, krypton, argon, and neon excited by a volume discharge in a nonuniform electric field, by a nanosecond electron beam, and by a pulsed volume discharge in a uniform electric field at a high initial voltage.     

Stark Broadening of Ne II and Ne III Spectral Lines

Using a semiclassical approach, the widths and shifts of the spectral lines of three Ne II and six Ne III multiplets caused by collisions with electrons, protons, and helium ions at a density of perturbing particles of 10¹⁷ cm^–3 and different temperatures have been calculated. The results obtained have been compared with the known experimental and theoretical data.     

Experimental equations of state for the rare gas solids

Piston-displacement equations of state (EOS) for the rare gas solids neon, argon, krypton and xenon have been determined to 20 kbar at temperatures from 4.2 K to the triple point in each case, with V(P,T) relations which are believed to be accurate to roughly 0.1 per cent. The present paper describes the results for the three heavier solids, argon, krypton and xenon, and indicates consistency between these results and other low pressure experiments at all temperatures. In particular, the individual isotherms can be represented by P(V) relations which are suggested by the form of the Lennard-Jones potential, the bulk moduli are only slightly temperature dependent at constant volume, and the data for the three solids appear to obey a reduced EOS both at T = 0 and near the triple point.     

Measurement of lifetimes and collisional rate constants for 3p levels in neon I,II and IV

Lifetimes and collisional quenching rate constants have been measured for 3p levels in Ne I, Ne II, and Ne IV. The levels were populated by direct excitation from the neon ground state using a pulsed beam of 100 MeV³²S ions from the Munich Tandem van de Graaff accelerator. Beam pulses were 2 ns long (FWHM) and had a repetition rate of 78 kHz. Lifetimes were measured by time resolved optical spectroscopy. Collisional rate constants were determined from time spectra for various target gas pressures.

A simulation toolkit for electroluminescence assessment in rare event experiments

A good understanding of electroluminescence is a prerequisite when optimising double-phase noble gas detectors for Dark Matter searches and high-pressure xenon TPCs for neutrinoless double beta decay detection.A simulation toolkit for calculating the emission of light through electron impact on neon, argon, krypton and xenon has been developed using the Magboltz and Garfield programs. Calculated excitation and electroluminescence efficiencies, electroluminescence yield and associated statistical fluctuations are presented as a function of electric field. Good agreement with experiment and with Monte Carlo simulations has been obtained.     

Positron annihilation in solid krypton and xenon

A computation of the life time of positrons as well as the angular distribution of the resulting gamma pair for polycrystalline krypton and xenon has been made. The calculations are based on the technique employed by Salvadori and Carbotte for the case of solid argon. The field seen by the positrons is constructed from the charge densities derived from Herman-Skillman wave functions. The positron wave functions are obtained using the Wigner-Seitz approximation. For electrons Herman-Skillman wave functions have been used. The computed distributions, when the effects of correlation are ignored, are wider than the experimental ones. The calculated values for the mean lives of positrons for krypton and xenon are 2.2×10⁻⁹ sec and 2.7×10⁻⁹ sec, respectively, and that for xenon is, as usual, longer than the measured value of 0.43×10⁻⁹ sec. Effects of electronpositron correlations on the angular distribution and the life time have been calculated for the case of krypton. When these corrections are taken into account, the life time of positrons in krypton is reduced by a factor of about eight and the angular distribution shows a slight narrowing.

Spectroscopic studies of CO2 trapped in rare gas matrices

Low temperature (5 K) high resolution (0.15 and 0.03 cm⁻¹) absorption spectra of ¹³CO₂ have been recorded in neon, argon, krypton, and xenon matrices, in the ν₃ and ν₂ regions. Diffusion experiments have been performed in krypton and xenon in order to identify vibrational traps which could be responsible for the decrease and shortening of the emission observed after laser excitation: high-frequency structures in the ν₃ region are assigned to dimers and a doubling of the monomer line is due to a site effect. In neon, only a double substitutional site, with a splitting of the degenerate ν₂ vibration, is observed. In argon, as previously reported, a single and a double site are characterized. In krypton and xenon, where ν₂ is not split, only single sites would be predicted. As one of them exhibits a ν₃ line highly sensitive to temperature, we expect a large coupling with the lattice and a fast vibrational relaxation. This site is very likely the vibrational trap we are looking for.     

The Features of Low-Lying States of Ne3, Ar3 and Kr3

The methods for few-body physics are introduced to extract structures of low-lying states of threeatom clusters of neon, argon and krypton. Similarities among the states have been found, and accordingly a number of rotational bands have been identified. Each band is characterized by a specific mode of internal oscillation. The decisive effect of symmetry has been emphasized.     

Nonperturbative shell correction to the Bethe-Bloch formula for the energy losses of fast charged particles

A simple method including nonperturbative shell corrections has been developed for calculating energy losses on complex atoms. The energy losses of fast highly charged ions on neon, argon, krypton, and xenon atoms have been calculated and compared with experimental data. It has been shown that the inclusion of the non-perturbative shell corrections noticeably improves agreement with experimental data as compared to calculations by the Bethe-Bloch formula with the standard corrections. This undoubtedly helps to reduce the number of fitting parameters in various modifications of the Bethe-Bloch formula, which are usually determined semiempirically.     

Streuung von 25 keV-Elektronen an Gasen

The differential cross section of neon, argon, krypton, and xenon for the elastic scattering and for the excitation of optical transitions has been measured. For neon and argon the elastic angular distribution can be described by the cross section calculated according toWentzel andLenz. For krypton and xenon there are considerable deviations from the Wentzel-Lenz cross section. In these cases it is better to calculate the elastic differential cross section from Slater eigenfunctions, from Thomas-Fermi-Dirac or from Hartree-Fock electron density distribution. The differential cross sections for the excitation of optical transitions, so far as measured here, obey for?<? _c the dipol approximation, i.e. for angles not to small the inverse square angular dependence is valid.? _c is higher for the heavier rare gases. The oscillator strengths for some transitions have been determined from the scattering measurements in satisfactory agreement with theoretical values.     

Emission characteristics and parameters of gas-discharge plasma in mixtures of heavy inert gases with chlorine

The ultraviolet (UV) radiation from longitudinal glow-discharge plasma in three- and four-component mixtures of argon, krypton, and xenon with chlorine has been investigated. The total radiation of Ar, Kr, and Xe monochlorides and chlorine molecules in the spectral range 170–310 nm has been optimized with respect to the composition and the pressure of gas mixtures, as well as the discharge current. The mean output power, the electric power of discharge, and the efficiency of a broadband low-pressure exciplex halogen lamp have been determined. Parameters of the glow discharge in Ar-Kr-Cl₂ and Kr-Xe-Cl₂ mixtures have been simulated numerically. The electron energy distribution functions have been determined through the solution of the Boltzmann kinetic equation. These functions have been used to calculate the plasma parameters, namely, electron transfer characteristics, specific losses of discharge power for electronic processes, and ionization and attachment coefficients.     

On the second dielectric virial coefficients of methane and the inert gases

The induced quadrupole contribution to the distortion polarization term in the dielectric virial coefficient (B) has been evaluated for methane and the inert gases neon, argon, krypton and xenon. It is shown to be a substantial fraction of the experimental value of B for these systems. For argon the full ‘ classical ’ value of B is estimated by making use of a previous calculation of the classical overlap correction to the point polarizable particle model. It is shown that the classical value of B is in substantial agreement with experiment for this case.     

Tetramethyl tin in frozen rare gases. A study of impurity-host binding

The Mössbauer effect in ¹¹⁹Sn was applied to obtain information on the local dynamical properties in frozen rare gases. The results show a hardening of th phonon spectrum for the matrix isolated tetramethyl tin molecule in neon and argon. No such enhancement is observed for the matrices of solid krypton and xenon. An explanation based on geometrical considerations is proposed.     

Monte Carlo simulations of thermodynamic properties of argon,krypton and xenon in liquid and gas state using new ab initio pair potentials

The internal energies and compressibility factors of argon, krypton and xenon have been simulated using recent state-of-the-art ab initio pair intermolecular potentials and the best semi-empirical pair potentials, and the Axilrod-Teller-Muto three-body term. The results are compared with experimental data for both sub-critical and super-critical temperatures and for densities ranging up to a 2.5 multiple of the critical density. Both the ab initio and semi-empirical results for argon are in very good agreement with the experimental ones. For krypton and xenon, the ab initio results are worse than the semi-empirical results but they are still acceptable.     

New FTS measurements, optimized energy levels and refined VUV standards in the Ne III spectrum

All observed spectral lines of Ne III in the range 204 ? to 36 μm (277 cm^-1 to 490000 cm^-1) have been compiled and critically evaluated. 57 visible and ultraviolet lines of Ne III have been precisely measured using Fourier transform spectroscopy. An optimized level scheme has been derived from the total list of observed lines. Relative positions of about 180 out of a total of 226 previously known energy levels of Ne III have been determined with improved accuracy compared to previous studies. Excitation energies of almost all excited levels have been revised by (1.5–2.0) cm^-1. 127 precise wavelength standards in the region 210 ? to 2900 ? have been derived. Concepts of error current and covariance matrix have been implemented in a computational algorithm that permits one to derive the uncertainties of Ritz wavelength standards obtained from a set of least-squares-optimized energy levels. Nine new energy levels have been found, and 16 new transitions have been identified in the extreme ultraviolet region. The ionization potential has been increased by 4.5 cm^-1. The new value is ( ( ).     

Spectral anomalies of the light-induced drift of rubidium atoms caused by the velocity dependence of transport collision frequencies

The spectral features of the light-induced drift (LID) velocity for rubidium atoms (⁸⁵Rb and ⁸⁷Rb) in an argon buffer medium and in binary buffer mixtures of noble gases (Ne + Ar, Ne + Kr, Ne + Xe, He + Ar, He + Kr, and He + Xe) have been investigated theoretically. A strong temperature dependence of the spectral shape of the LID signal for Rb atoms in an Ar atmosphere is predicted in the temperature range 450 K < T < 800 K. It is shown that the anomalous LID of Rb atoms in binary buffer mixtures of noble gases can be observed at almost any temperature (including the room one) depending on the fractions of neon or helium in these mixtures. The results obtained enable a highly accurate testing of the interatomic interaction potentials used to calculate the drift velocity for anomalous LID in LID experiments.
