R. Vonpietrowski et al., FLUORESCENCE EXCITATION SPECTROSCOPY OF XENON DOPED NEON CLUSTERS - SIZE AND SITE EFFECTS, AND CLUSTER MELTING, Zeitschrift fur Physik. D, Atoms, molecules and clusters, 40(1-4), 1997, pp. 22-24
Electronic excitations of Xe atoms and Xe-2 molecules embedded in free
Ne clusters are studied with time resolved fluorescence excitation sp
ectroscopy. Several dis tinct absorption bands blueshifted relativ to
the first atomic resonance line of Xe are observed and are attributed
to Xe or Xe-2 located in different sites. For Ne clusters containing l
ess than 300 atoms only interior sites are observed indicating that sm
all Ne clusters are liquid-like.
