Some aspects of the photoluminescence properties of solid argon - Solids versus clusters in a supersonic beam - Joppien, M.; Groteluschen, F.; Kloiber, T.; Lengen, M.; Moller, T.; Wormer, J.; Zimmerer, G.; Keto, J.; Kykta, M.; Castex, M.C. (Elsevier)
Selectively excited photoluminescence spectra of Ar clusters are presented. They contain information concerning fragmentation of the clusters following primary exciton-type excitation. Excited Ar"2^* molecules are identified as the main excited fragments. Close similarities between desorption of excited species from solid Ar and fragmentation of Ar clusters are found. Lifetime measurements of the wavelength-selected cluster luminescence bands indicate cluster-specific properties of the cluster luminescence center. It turns out that time- and spectrally resolved luminescence spectroscopy under selective photon excitation is a powerful tool to investigate electronic cluster excitation.
