Metal atom (Zn, Cd and Mg) luminescence in solid neon

Luminescence spectroscopy of the metal atoms Mg, Zn and Cd isolated in solid neon is recorded using
 pulsed synchrotron radiation excitation of the ns¹ np¹ ¹P₁–ns² ¹S₀ resonance (n = 3, 4 and 5 respectively) transitions.
 Two features, a dominant band and a red-shoulder, are identifi...

description Luminescence spectroscopy of the metal atoms Mg, Zn and Cd isolated in solid neon is recorded using
 pulsed synchrotron radiation excitation of the ns¹ np¹ ¹P₁–ns² ¹S₀ resonance (n = 3, 4 and 5 respectively) transitions.
 Two features, a dominant band and a red-shoulder, are identified in the UV absorption spectra of
 Zn/Ne and Cd/Ne. Excitation of these features yields distinct emission bands with the red-shoulder absorption
 producing the smaller, Stokes-shifted emission. Nanosecond decaytime measurements, made with the time
 correlated single photon counting technique indicate the emission bands arise from the spin singlet ¹P₁ → ¹S₀
 transition. Hence, it is concluded the duplication of absorption and emission features in the Cd/Ne and Zn/Ne
 systems arises from metal atom occupancy in two distinct sites. In contrast, Mg/Ne luminescence consists of
 single excitation and emission bands, indicative of occupancy in just one site. The occurrence of distinct photophysical
 characteristics of the linewidths, Stokes shift and lifetimes in the Mg/Ne system, compared with
 those recorded for Zn/Ne and Cd/Ne, is rationalised in terms of a different site occupancy for atomic Mg. Accurate
 interaction potentials for the ground states of the M·Ne diatomics are used to analyse site occupancies
 and interpret this contrasting behavior.

Luminescence spectroscopy of the metal atoms Mg, Zn and Cd isolated in solid neon is recorded using
 pulsed synchrotron radiation excitation of the ns¹ np¹ ¹P₁–ns² ¹S₀ resonance (n = 3, 4 and 5 respectively) transitions.
 Two features, a dominant band and a red-shoulder, are identified in the UV absorption spectra of
 Zn/Ne and Cd/Ne. Excitation of these features yields distinct emission bands with the red-shoulder absorption
 producing the smaller, Stokes-shifted emission. Nanosecond decaytime measurements, made with the time
 correlated single photon counting technique indicate the emission bands arise from the spin singlet ¹P₁ → ¹S₀
 transition. Hence, it is concluded the duplication of absorption and emission features in the Cd/Ne and Zn/Ne
 systems arises from metal atom occupancy in two distinct sites. In contrast, Mg/Ne luminescence consists of
 single excitation and emission bands, indicative of occupancy in just one site. The occurrence of distinct photophysical
 characteristics of the linewidths, Stokes shift and lifetimes in the Mg/Ne system, compared with
 those recorded for Zn/Ne and Cd/Ne, is rationalised in terms of a different site occupancy for atomic Mg. Accurate
 interaction potentials for the ground states of the M·Ne diatomics are used to analyse site occupancies
