Applications of capacitive and barrier discharge excilamps in photoscience

CO2dissociation using the Versatile atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge experiment (VADER)

“…If the frequency is too high, the gas doesn't have time to relax and form the final products. A short relaxation time also leads to an increase in the vibrational energy of molecules (which explains why DBD excimer lamps work best at higher frequencies, 10-100 s of kHz) [63,67]. This energy build up causes more CO 2 breakdown, but also encourages the breakdown of the final products and produces long lived free radical populations which increase afterglow reaction rates, like O + CO → CO 2 .…”

Primary photochemical processes for PtCl62− complex in acetonitrile solutions

“…UV absorption spectra were recorded using Agilent 8453 (Agilent Technologies) and Varian Cary 50 (Varian Inc.) spectrophotometers. Stationary photolysis was performed using the irradiation of a XeBr (282 nm) barrier discharge exciplex lamp (excilamp) [40] . Quantitative measurements of quantum yields of Pt IV Cl 6 2À photosolvation in the course of laser photolysis were performed using the irradiation of an LS-2137U Nd:YAG laser (Lotis TII, Belarus) with excitation wavelengths of 266 nm and pulse duration of ca.…”

Psoriasis Treatment Efficiency with XeCl-excilamp

“…But the most important is the patient does not suffer from negative feelings. One of the radiation source for the selective phototherapy is an excilamp on a mixture of xenon and chlorine, which has been studied by [1][2][3][4][5]. Excilamps have narrow band spectrum in comparison with luminescent lamps, widely used in phototherapy.…”

“…Excilamps on different working molecules have a wide range of applications in medicine, technology decontamination of industrial waste, water, air, photochemistry and microelectronics. Some applications are described by [4][5][6][7][8][9].…”
