Based on calculations of the emission spectra using semiempirical Cs-He pair potentials the newly discovered lines can be assigned to the decay of specific Cs*He$_{n}$ exciplexes: an apple-shaped Cs$(APi _{3/2})$He$_{2}$ and a dumbbell-shaped Cs$(APi_{1/2}) $He$_{n}$ exciplex with a well defined number $n$ of bound helium atoms. While the former has been observed in other enviroments, it was commonly believed that exciplexes with $n>2$ might not exist. The calculations suggest Cs$(APi_{1/2}) $He$_{6}$ to be the most probable candidate for that exciplex, in which the helium atoms are arranged on a ring around the waist of the dumbbell shaped electronic density distribution of the cesium atom. | Source: | arXiv, physics/0407088 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
