Laser-induced fluorescence from theE1 andF1 states of the HgZn excimer

Abstract

Pump and probe methods of laser spectroscopy were used to excite fluorescence from the E1 and F1 states of the HgZn excimer. Several bound-free and bound-bound fluorescence bands as well as excitation bands were recorded and correlated with a potential-energy diagram that includes the various spin-orbit components and supersedes the previously published potential-energy diagram based on Hund’s case-(a) coupling.
