Fluorine absorption spectra and some fluorides in condensed state

Abstract

The absorption spectra of liquid F 2, NF 3, N 2F 4, CF 4, BF 3, NF 3, SF 6 have been obtained at diminished temperatures in the near ultra-violet region of the spectrum. It is shown that the absorption spectrum does not differ from the spectra in the gaseous phase, therefore the elementary absorption act is characterized by the cross section of photon absorption by an individual molecule. The absorption cross sections of the above mentioned molecules are represented in the liquid phase, which do not differ strongly from absorption cross sections of these molecules in the gaseous phase. The dependence of the absorption cross sections of liquid fluorine on its concentrations in solutions with N 2, Ar, NF 3, O 2 at - 196°C has been studied. The cross sections of photon absorption by the fluoride molecule in different liquid media with small fluorine concentrations have been obtained.
