Radiative lifetimes of the ν'(13 P 2) states of the CdAr, CdKr, HgAr, HgKr, HgXe quasimolecules

In the present review the results of the theoretical investigatation of the radiative lifetimes of the metastable ν'(13 P 2) states of CdAr, CdKr, HgAr, HgKr, HgXe quasimolecules as functions of the vibrational excitation degree are presented. The semiempirical interaction potential curves of Cd, Hg and rare gas (RG) atoms reconstructed from the available experimental data in the framework of the semiempirical method of quasimiolecular term analysis and the probabilities of the quasimolecular transitions which are the basis for the calculation of the radiative lifetimes are discussed.
