Photoprocesses and Chemical Kinetics in the Excimer Molecules

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，它将考虑氪和氙化合物，并获得关于它们的强束缚电子激发态的新知识，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。这些研究的目标是通过详细了解它们与背景物质的相互作用来改善含有稀有气体的器件（例如激光器和灯）和工艺（半导体生长和蚀刻）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.
