Fluorescence from extreme ultraviolet photoexcitation of CF4

Abstract
Photoabsorption and fluorescence cross sections of CF4 were measured in the 50–130 nm region using synchrotron radiation as a light source. Oscillator strengths for Rydberg states were determined from the absorption cross sections measured. The fluorescence spectra were dispersed to identify the emission species. Fluorescences appear in the excitation wavelength regions of 50–57.4, 75–80, and 85–95 nm, in which the emitters are attributed to CF+4, CF2, and CF3, respectively. The fluorescence quantum yield has been determined from the absorption and fluorescence cross sections measured simultaneously. The yield has a maximum of 26% at 55 nm.
