Experimental Comparison of Photoabsorption of Solid and Gaseous Xenon Near theNIV,VEdge

Abstract
The photoabsorption structure of thin films of solid xenon has been investigated near the NIV,V edge (∼66 eV) and compared with the structure of gaseous Xe. As Baldini found in the fundamental absorption region, excitonlike peaks as well as interband transitions have been found in the solid. The data are discussed in view of recent band calculations.
