In boron-doped silicon, optical absorption takes place through the excitation of bound holes from the ground to excited states. This leads to a line spectrum. Due to a lack of sufficient resolution and a failure to make proper allowance for line distortion by the finite spectrometer slit width, previous authors gave incorrect values for both the low temperature half-width and the temperature dependence of this half-width. In re-evaluating these quantities, two of three previously known lines were found to be doublets. It is found that presently available theory does not explain the results adequately.

In boron-doped silicon, optical absorption takes place through the excitation of bound holes from the ground state to excited states. This leads to a line spectrum. Because of a lack of sufficient resolution and a failure to make proper allowance for line distortion by the finite spectrometer slit width, previous authors gave a misleading picture of the low-temperature half-width, the temperature dependence of this half-width, and the onset of concentration broadening at low temperatures.New experimental data are presented and explained by introducing the mechanism of statistical Stark broadening due to ionized impurities, and by modifying Baltensperger's (1953) theory for concentration broadening. At low impurity concentration the width is attributed to phonon broadening (Barrie and Nishikawa 1963) and internal strains (Kohn 1957).

In boron-doped silicon, the excitation of bound holes from the acceptor ground state to the excited states leads to an infrared absorption-line spectrum. In a recent half-width study of the boron absorption lines, Colbow (1963) separated the various line-broadening contributions for the first time. Part of Colbow's half-widths is now found to be due to external strains introduced by the sample mounting. New half-width measurements of "strain-free" mounted boron-doped silicon are presented, Colbow's work is corrected, and additional information regarding the various broadening contributions is given.

The FTIR absorption studies of boron-doped silicon irradiated at 80 K by 5 MeV electrons have shown the recombination-enhanced migration of the interstitial boron by the Bourgoin-Corbett mechanism. The interaction of diffusing atoms of Bi with one another and with atoms of interstitial oxygen was revealed. For as-irradiated samples we observed the appearance of three LVMs at 739.4, 759.6, and 780.9 cm-1, which are attributed to BiBi complex, and the LVM at 923.5 cm-1, which are identified as BiOi complex.

The energy levels of Dy3+ ions have been determined in lithium yttrium borate (Li6Y(BO3)3) single crystals in a wide spectral range between 3000 and 40,000 cm−1 using optical absorption and luminescence spectroscopy, which also allow for an analysis of the ground state. The crystal field splittings of the 6H15/2 ground state and all excited states up to the 4F7/2 manifold were obtained at a low temperature, based on luminescence (T = 4.2–78 K) and absorption (T = 8–100 K) measurements, respectively. The numbers of experimentally observed Stark sublevels are in agreement with those expected theoretically for Dy3+ ions occupying a single low symmetry (C1) site.
