Photoprocesses and Chemical Kinetics in the Excimer Molecules

该实验计划将提供有关原子和准分子物种的基本化学和光学数据，这些数据很难通过实验获得。特别是，它将考虑氪和氙气化合物，并获得关于它们的强束缚电子激发态，关于它们的高激发态的光吸收和光电离，以及一般的光缔合过程的新知识。这些研究的目标是通过详细了解稀有气体设备(例如激光和灯)和工艺(半导体生长和蚀刻)与背景物质的相互作用来提高它们的性能。

The experimental program will provide fundamental chemical and optical data concerning atomic and excimer species, which are difficult to access experimentally. In particular, it will consider Krypton and Xenon compounds and acquire new knowledge on their strongly bound electronically-excited states, on the photo- absorption and photo-ionization of their highly excited states, and on the process of photoassociation in general. The goal of these studies is the improvement in the performance of rare gas containing devices (e.g. lasers and lamps) and processes (semi-conductor growth and etching) through a detailed understanding of their interaction with background species.
