Formation and decay of the HgZn(B0+) exciplex

Abstract

The HgZn exciplex was produced in the B0+ state by irradiatinga Hg–Zn vapour mixture at temperatures in the range 600–900°C with 2572 Å cw or 2660 Å pulsed laser light. The B0+ [Formula: see text] X0+ fluorescence band was recorded, as well as the time evolutions of various components present in the fluorescence spectrum, providing some additional insight into the possible mechanism of the exciplex formation.PACS Nos.: 33.50, 33.70.H, 33.90
