Resonant radiationless excitation transfer to I2 molecules sorbed in pores of porous silicon

Abstract

Resonant radiationless electronic excitation transfer to I2 molecules sorbed in pores of porous silicon was observed. The mass-spectrometry technique was used to show that iodine excitation through the resonant transfer results in the desorption of sorbed I2 molecules with relatively high kinetic energies (1−3 eV).
