Laser fluorescence studies of metal clusters: Spectroscopy of molecular bismuth

Article abstract of DOI:10.1063/1.439893

The electronic spectra of Bi_n clusters in solid Ne and Ar matrices are studied by absorption and laser induced fluorescence techniques.The Bi2 <*>-><*> spectrum appears to be unperturbed by the solid medium.A second, slightly lower lying excited electronic state may also be due to Bi2.Spectra belonging to another bismuth cluster, most likely to Bi4 are also observed and analyzed.The vibrational frequencies of the emitting species are determined.The spectrum in consistent with a T_d structure for the tetramer, but shows no evidence of Jahn-Teller distortions.
