Abstract

By means of the magnetic scanning method, the author shows that the optical breadth of the sensitized fluorescence line (λ = 3261 Å) in a Hg-Cd mixture is about four times the breadth of the same line emitted by the ordinary optical resonance of cadmium. This result strongly suggests that Hg-Cd sensitized fluorescence is well described by the following equation: Hg(6 3P 1) + Cd(5 1S 0) → Hg(6 1S 0) + Cd(5 3P 1). It is in disagreement with the recent experimental result of Kraulinya et al. who suggest a more complex process involving molecular compounds.
