Electronic spectra of NeXe, ArXe, and KrXe using resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization

Two photon resonant, three photon ionization spectra of the heteronuclear rare gas dimers NeXe, ArXe, and KrXe were measured in the energy region of the Xe* 5d and 6p levels. A number of new bands corresponding to two photon transitions from the electronic ground state to bound vibrational levels of the resonant intermediate states were observed. These data provide new information on the dissociation energies and potential curves of the low-lying excited states of these heteronuclear rare gas dimers.
