Abstract
The CF2 emission spectrum in rare gas solids involves both the symmetric vibrations, ν2 (668 cm-1) and ν1 (1120 cm-1). A vibrationally unrelaxed emission is observed following selective excitation of the higher vibrational levels in the ν2 manifold, and we measure vibrational relaxation rates of 2 × 108/sec and 1.1 × 108/sec, respectively, for the 2-1 and 1-0 relaxation in argon. All the vibrational bands show a strong coupling to the lattice modes, with a weak ZPL and strong phonon wing. This results from the change in geometry between the ground and excited electronic states.
