SPECTROSCOPIC DETERMINATION OF INTERMOLECULAR FORCES

Abstract

The absorption spectra of mercury in argon, krypton, xenon, and nitrogen were obtained for deposit temperatures from 4K to 20K. The spectra exhibit multiple structure for argon, krypton, and xenon host but only a narrow band and a broad band for nitrogen as a host. These results can be explained by assuming the existence of relatively isolated mercury atoms in the host and interacting pairs of mercury atoms trapped at non-neighboring sites in the host. Abstracts of all experiments conducted to determine intermolecular forces spectroscopically are included.
