Gases : High Purity Rare Gases

Excimer is a contraction of “Excited Dimer,”a description of a diatomic molecule in which the component atoms are bound in the excited state, but not in the ground state. The important gas molecules are rare gas halides including argon fluoride, krypton fluoride, and xenon chloride.

Neon is a rare atmospheric gas which is odourless, colourless, tasteless, nontoxic, monatomic and chemically inert. The concentration of Neon in the atmosphere, by volume percent, is 1.8 x 10-3.

Neon is principally shipped and used in gaseous form for excimer lasers, plasma displays, light bulbs, neon signs and R & D laboratory research
