“…The magnetic-field inhomogeneities over the cell volume are small; they contribute less than 0.1 kHz to the linewidth. The quenching of the metastable atoms at the cell walls has been calculated, using the value of the diffusion coefficients measured for Kr*(3P2) (Palkina et a1 1969) and Xe*(3P2) (Barbet et al 1975). The corresponding broadening of the resonances, inversely proportional to the pressure, is less than 1 kHz at 1OmTorr; it has been subtracted from the measured linewidths of the resonance curves.…”

We study collisions between rare-gas atoms in the 3Pz metastable state and in the ground state. We create the metastable atoms by a discharge, orient them by optical pumping and measure the pressure broadening of their magnetic-resonance curves. For xenon, we use mixtures of even and odd isotopes; this leads to a determination of the cross section for metastability-exchange collisions. For krypton, we report results for the disorientation of the metastable state in the natural gas. In addition, we have measured the disorientation cross section of the krypton metastable state through collisions with helium.

“…Due to their long lifetime, the metastable states can also diffuse through the discharge. Their diffusion coefficients are taken from experimental works for xenon [29] and argon [6], and Steenhuijsen [14] has determined the diffusion coefficients for neon.…”

Positive column of classic fluorescent discharge lamps has been extensively studied in the past years. In this paper, we use a collisional radiative model to study the low-pressure positive column of discharge lamps filled with only pure gases: neon, argon, or xenon. We show the electron temperature, the electron density, and the electric field. By adding the atomic to molecular ions conversion, we extend the pressure range from 1 to 50 torr. Finally, we show evolution of the molecular ions densities in the rare gases' positive column.Index Terms-Argon, collisional radiative model, low and middle pressure, molecular ions, neon, positive column, xenon.

“…As the processes of stepwise excitation from the lower state, 1s 5 , and cascade excitation via the radiating level, 2p 10 can play a role on the first stage of the decay of the 1s 2 level, it would be expedient to supplement equations (1) and (2) with the balance equation, equation (3), for the density of the 2p 10 level.…”

“…Collisional processes in the afterglow have been investigated extensively using spectroscopic methods [1,2]. Several measurements of the resonance lines in the VUV region have also been reported [3][4][5], which have helped to characterize the population dynamics of metastable levels which are situated energetically close to the resonance radiating levels.…”

The decay of resonance and metastable atomic states in the afterglow of a pulsed driven low-pressure glow discharge in a He/Xe mixture (2% Xe) has been studied. Laser atom absorption spectroscopy has been used to measure the temporal evolution of optical densities. For that the transitions at 820.6 nm and 826.6 nm were used to probe the atomic states Xe(1s 3 ) and Xe(1s 2 ), respectively. A set of balance equations is used to describe the temporal behaviour of excited atomic states and the electron temperature. Collisions with electrons are shown to be the main quenching channel for the metastable atoms and those with helium atoms for the resonance levels. The rate coefficients of these processes are estimated.
