Resonant radiationless excitation transfer to I-2 molecules sorbed in pores of porous silicon

Resonant radiationless electronic excitation transfer to I-2 molecules sorb ed in pores of porous silicon was observed. The mass-spectrometry technique was used to show that iodine excitation through the resonant transfer resu lts in the desorption of sorbed I-2 molecules with relatively high kinetic energies (1-3 eV).
