Introduction to Xenon Gas Applications in Electronics

 

Xenon is a noble gas used in specialized electronic applications, particularly where its inertness and radiation interaction properties provide advantages. Some xenon properties:

 

 

  • Chemically inert – As a noble gas, xenon resists chemical reactions that degrade electronic components.

  • High density – Xenon is over 4 times denser than air, allowing compact devices.

  • High atomic number – Xenon readily absorbs x-rays and radiation.

  • Charge mobility – Free electrons in xenon plasma enable electrical conduction.

  • Excimer formation – Xenon excimers emit ultraviolet photons when excited.

 

 

These attributes impart benefits in electronic devices from radiation detectors to ion thrusters to excimer lasers.
