We have monitored the time evolution of the fluorescence of K*He exciplexes formed on the surface of helium nanodroplets using reversed time-correlated single photon counting. In modeling the present data and that from our previous work on Na*He, we find that partial spin–orbit coupling as well as the extraction energy of helium atoms from the droplet contribute to the observed dynamics of both K*He and Na*He formation, which differ considerably after either D1(n 2P1/2←n 2S1/2) or D2(n 2P3/2←n 2S1/2) excitation for both K(n=4) and Na(n=3). Our quantitative prediction of the Na*He formation dynamics coupled with preliminary data on and modeling of the formation dynamics of K*He allow for extrapolation to the case of Rb*He. Spin–orbit considerations combined with a simple model of helium atom extraction from the matrix reveal the following predicted trend: as the choice of the alkali guest atom is moved down the periodic table, alkali atom–He exciplex formation along the 1 2Π3/2 surface occurs faster while ...
