Abstract

A new weakly bound electronic state of Cu₂ with origin near 25 508 cm^-1 in solid neon is observed and investigated by laser-induced fluorescence. The state is characterized by a long, 6.5-μs lifetime and large, ∼2.38-Å internuclear distance. It is assigned to one of the spin-orbit components of the ³Π_u or ³Σ_u states expected in this region and correlating with the 4s²S + 4s² ²D atomic limit. The atomic ²D_5/2 → ²S_1/2 emission is observed following excitation of molecular Cu₂ in solid neon and its origin and excitation mechanisms are discussed.
