Description
Summary:A scarcity of information on the rare-gas halide trimers makes detailed calculations of their formation rates from the excited rare-gas halides impossible. However, we have developed an approximate method/model for determining these rate constants. Rate constants for reactions of possible interest for the KrF* and XeF* laser systems are calculated. These reactions are (1) KrF*+Rg+Rg′→KrRgF*+Rg′ and (2) XeF*+Rg+Rg′→XeRgF*+Rg′, where Rg, Rg′=Ar, Kr in Eq. (1) and Ne, Ar, Xe in Eq. (2). Results are compared with available experimental data.
