Abstract

Rydberg series obsd. in the excitation spectra of Cl and H atoms isolated in the rare gas (Rg) crystals Kr and Xe are assocd. with the charge transfer species Cl-Rg+ and H-Rg+. The progressions originate from hole states of Rg+ which converge to the top of the rare gas valence band in an analogous manner to the convergence of conventional exciton states to the bottom of the conduction band. A model based on the effective mass approxn. and a quantum defect concept predicted such progressions in Xe and Kr crystals and it is supported by the present results. In addn. to these data a review is given of similar results with other halogens and rare gases. [on SciFinder (R)]

Noble gas

The noble gases (historically also the inert gases; sometimes referred to as aerogens) make up a class of chemical elements with similar properties; under standard conditions, they are all odorless, colorless, monatomic gases with very low chemical reactivity. The six naturally occurring noble gases are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar), krypton (Kr), xenon (Xe), and the radioactive radon (Rn). Oganesson (Og) is a synthetically produced highly radioactive element.

Krypton

Krypton (from κρυπτός 'the hidden one') is a chemical element with the symbol Kr and atomic number 36. It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless noble gas that occurs in trace amounts in the atmosphere and is often used with other rare gases in fluorescent lamps. Krypton is chemically inert. Krypton, like the other noble gases, is used in lighting and photography. Krypton light has many spectral lines, and krypton plasma is useful in bright, high-powered gas lasers (krypton ion and excimer lasers), each of which resonates and amplifies a single spectral line.

Noble gas compound

In chemistry, noble gas compounds are chemical compounds that include an element from the noble gases, group 18 of the periodic table. Although the noble gases are generally unreactive elements, many such compounds have been observed, particularly involving the element xenon. From the standpoint of chemistry, the noble gases may be divided into two groups: the relatively reactive krypton (ionisation energy 14.0 eV), xenon (12.1 eV), and radon (10.7 eV) on one side, and the very unreactive argon (15.
