Short-Range Characterization of the MeAr (Me=Zn, Cd) Ground-State Potentials from Fluorescence Spectra

Repulsive and bound parts of the interatomic potentials of the lowest singlet electronic energy states of the MeRg complexes (Me=Zn, Cd; Rg=He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe)

“…Results presented for ZnHe and ZnXe are from ab initio calculations of [8] and experimental study of [3,47], respectively . [9] (blue dotted lines) and with experimental results for ZnNe [5], ZnAr [2], ZnKr [4] and ZnXe [3] in regions of potential wells (inserts, green solid lines), and for ZnAr [7] in short-range region (black solid line). (For interpretation of color mentioned in this figure the reader is referred to the web version of the article.)…”

“…X 1 R þ 0 [13,14], A 3 P 0 (t 0 = 3,4), C 1 P 1 (t 0 = 6,7,8) ? X 1 R þ 0 [7,12,13] and [15] transitions, respectively. At this point, it is necessary to mention that the lightest ZnHe has been systematically omitted in spectroscopical studies due to extremely difficult experimental conditions for a production of the complex in the free-jet beam (a trial in our laboratory was also unsuccessful).…”

“…X 1 R þ 0 [7], A 3 P 0 (t 0 = 1), C 1 P 1 (t 0 = 1) ? X 1 R þ 0 [13,14], A 3 P 0 (t 0 = 3,4), C 1 P 1 (t 0 = 6,7,8) ?…”

“…The X 1 R þ 0 ground and C 1 P 1 excited (correlating with the 4 1 P 1 Zn asymptote, see Fig. 1a) states were characterized spectroscopically for ZnNe [5,6], ZnAr [2,7], ZnKr [4] and ZnXe [3]. On the contrary, considering CdRg, their X 1 R þ 0 ground [12][13][14][15][16] as well as low-lying A 3 P 0 and B 3 P 1 [12,14,15,[17][18][19][20][21], and C 1 P 1 [13][14][15][22][23][24] excited states correlating with the 5 3 P 1 and 5 1 P 1 Cd asymptotes (see Fig.…”

“…The method has been applied by several groups in investigation of ZnRg and CdRg (Rg = rare gas) complexes and spectroscopic characterization of their electronic energy states. There are only few experimental [2][3][4][5][6][7] and theoretical [8][9][10][11] studies related to ZnRg. The X 1 R þ 0 ground and C 1 P 1 excited (correlating with the 4 1 P 1 Zn asymptote, see Fig.…”
