Abstract
A new broadband emission from electron beam excited high pressure Ar/F2 and Ar/NF3 mixtures at (435±50) nm is reported. This gas phase spectrum as well as a previously unassigned broadband emission at (455±55) nm observed in optically excited liquid Ar/F2 mixtures is assigned to the four‐atomic rare gas halide exciplex Ar3F. Ar3F is produced by three‐body collisions from Ar2F, but is easily destroyed by two‐body collisions due to its small binding energy.Keywords
