摘要: The time decay of the density excited xenon molecules (Xe2*) in lowest bound diatomic states was monitored by observing photons (1730 ± 100 A) emitted transitions to repulsive ground state. Mutual ionizing collisions are responsible for initial at high excited‐state density. measured rate this process is (3.5 1.4) × 10−10 cm3 sec−1. At lower densities, Xe2* controlled spontaneous emission [(20 8) 106 sec−1], collisional deactivation [(3,3 1.3) 10−18 cm2], and electronic recombination.
