Pradayrol, A. Casanovas, I. Deharo, J. Guelfucci, J. Casanovas Title: Absorption Coefficients of SF6, SF4, SOF2 and SO2F2 in the Vacuum Ultraviolet Journal/Source: J. de Physique III 6, 5,603-612, (1996); DOI: 10.1051/jp3:1996143 Data: table, diagram Energy/Wavelength range: 115 - 180 nm Resolution: 0.1 nm Temperature: 298 K Temperature dependence: no Pressure/Concentration): 50-1000 Pa (115-145 nm wavelength range); 2000-70000 Pa (140-160 nm); 20000-100000 Pa (155-185 nm) Phase: gas pH: Comments: Absorption coefficients k0(m-1 100 kPa-1) of SF6 and of its main gaseous by-products SF4, SOF2 and SO2F2 were measured in the VUV region. The experiments were carried out at a temperature of 298 K and a spectral resolution of 0.1 nm over the wavelength range 115-180 nm for SF6, 115-220 nm for SF4, 120-195 nm for SOF2 and 120-210 nm for SO2F2.
