C. Jonin et al., XE-2-ASTERISK EXCIMER FLUORESCENCE INDUCE D BY 2-PHOTON EXCITATION - EFFECT OF HIGH-TEMPERATURES, Annales de physique, 20(5-6), 1995, pp. 621-622
Experimental results on the temperature dependence up to above 1000 K
of the Xe-2 VUV exciter emission lineshape around 172 nm is reported.
The excitation is obtained in the center of a heated silica cell usin
g two-photon Xe 6p state laser excitation. A very large effect is obse
rved and compared to calculations using ab initio potential. Only qual
itative agreement on the linesshapes is obtained. Further work is in p
rogress.
