Abstract
The molecular fluorescence of Cd2 and CdHg has been studied experimentally using optical excitation at 266 nm. The 460 nm, 150 nsec band of CdHg(b) is described and related to the cadmium molecular system. A model is proposed to describe the decay of both the pure cadmium and cadmium–mercury systems which involves cadmium trimer, dimer reservoir, and dimer radiating species. Energy spacings and equilibrium constants are derived for these states.Keywords
