Interaction of Ag(5s) and Ag(5p) with noble gas atoms

[摘要] We investigate the interaction of ground and excited states of silver atom with all the noble gases, including helium. Born-Oppenheimer potential energy curves are calculated with quantum chemical techniques and spin-orbit effects in the excited states are included. We compare with experimentally available spectroscopic data, as well as previous calculations. The assignment of vibrational levels in the one experiment we compare with, may have to shift up by one unit.
