WHAT DOES EXCIMER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Excimer

An excimer is a short-lived dimeric or heterodimeric molecule formed from two species, at least one of which has completely filled valence shell by electrons. In this case, formation of molecule is possible only if such atom is in an electronic excited state. Heteronuclear molecules and molecules that have more than two species are also called exciplex molecules. Excimers are often diatomic and are composed of two atoms or molecules that would not bond if both were in the ground state. The lifetime of an excimer is very short, on the order of nanoseconds. Binding of a larger number of excited atoms form Rydberg matter clusters, the lifetime of which can exceed many seconds.

Definition of excimer in the English dictionary

The definition of excimer in the dictionary is an excited dimer formed by the association of excited and unexcited molecules, which would remain dissociated in the ground state.
