Observation and analysis of LiCa and LiMg excimers
Abstract
Emission from LiCa and LiMg excimers was obtained for the first time upon pumping mixtures of Li and Ca vapors and Li and Mg vapors with an Ar+ laser. The emission spectra were analyzed spectroscopically and found to be in good agreement with a synthetic spectrum derived from ab initio calculations of the LiMg and LiCa potential energy curves. A kinetic model was developed to explain the LiMg formation process. The kinetics of production of LiMg were analyzed by time delay measurements and efficiency measurements of the fluorescence intensity.
