The temperature dependence of the emissions from the 0 ϩ ( 3 P 1 )and 1( 3 P 2 ) Kr*Ar exciplex states in the range 85-350 K was studied using time resolved techniques, vacuum ultraviolet synchrotron radiation, and argon samples doped with minimal amounts of krypton. As the temperature is increased, the emission shifts to the blue, its width increases by almost a factor of 2, and the line shape becomes asymmetrical. The experimental line shapes have been simulated by means of Franck-Condon density calculations using the available ground state potential of Aziz and Slaman ͓Mol. Phys. 58, 679 ͑1986͔͒ and by modeling the exciplex potentials as Morse curves. The potential parameters for the 0 ϩ and 1 states are r e ϭ 5.05 Ϯ 0.01 and 5.07Ϯ0.01 a 0 , respectively; D e ϭ 1150 Ϯ 200 cm Ϫ1 and ϭ1.4Ϯ0.1 a 0Ϫ1 for both states. The latter two values yield e ϭ 140 cm Ϫ1 and e x e ϭ 4.3 cm Ϫ1 . The energy positions of the exciplexes's wells and their depths are compared with published results.
