Abstract

Mixtures of Ar and Xe and of Ar and F₂ were excited with pulsed proton beams and time-resolved spectroscopy was employed to study energy transfer from Ar to Xe or F₂. Measurements were made of the quenching rates of Ar(¹P₁), Ar(³P₁) and Ar₂*(1_u) by Xe and F₂. The energy precursors of Xe(¹P₁), Xe(³P₁) and Xe(²P₃2/(5d), J=1) are identified from Ar ₂*(1_u), Ar₂*(1_u) and Ar(³P₁), respectively. Excimers of ArF are populated by Ar(³P₂) and Ar₂*(1_u) from the energy-transfer process and the ion-ion recombination process by argon and fluorine ions. The kinetics of Ar-F₂, Ar-Kr-F₂ and Ar-Xe-F₂ lasers are discussed.
