AbstractIn the present paper, optical absorption studies on the neutral charge state of the double acceptor zinc in silicon are presented. Measurements were carried out in the mid infrared (MIR) and in the near infrared (NIR) region. The MIR absorption spectra show the excitation series of an effective-masslike hole, from which the Zn° level position is calculated to be at Ev + 319. 1 meV. A splitting of the ground state into 3 sublevels is assigned to hole-hole coupling and crystal-field splitting. Absorption spectra obtained in the NIR are interpreted in terms of an A° X-type bound exciton.

The optical absorption spectra of arsenic and phosphorus donor impurities in silicon have been studied under conditions of improved resolution. Absorption lines due to transitions from the impurity ground state to the excited states 2p0, 2p±, 3p0, 3p±, 4p0, 4 p±, and 5p0, and 5p± have been observed at 4.2° K. The relative intensities of some of these absorption lines are compared with existing experimental and theoretical estimates. The contribution of instrumental broadening to the observed line widths is assessed and natural line widths are estimated. The estimates indicate values for the natural line widths which are much less than those previously reported. For phosphorus impurity, the natural line widths are estimated to be less than 0.08 × 10−3 electron volts full width at half-maximum. The possibility of concentration broadening is discussed in connection with the arsenic data.

AbstractNear-infrared absorption spectra of a frozen dilute solution of ytterbium chloride have been obtained at 77 K, 20 K, and 4.2 K. They contain two broad lines revealing a Stark splitting of 60 cm-1 of the excited 2F5/2, level of the Yb3+ ion. Such spectra indicate that in frozen solutions of ytterbium chloride the Yb3+ ions have crystalline or quasi-crystalline surroundings which are similar for most ions; different possibilities are discussed.

AbstractAs part of an effort to develop a spectroscopic structure-property relationship in platinum acetylide oligomers, we have prepared a series of bidentate Pt(PBu3)2L2 compounds. The ligand was the series o-syd-C6H4-CΞC-(C6H4-CΞC)n-H, n = 0,1,2. The terminal oligomer unit consisted of a sydnone group ortho to the acetylene carbon. The compounds were characterized by various methods, including 13C-NMR, ground state absorption, fluorescence, phosphorescence and laser flash photolysis. The acetylenic 13C-NMR resonances showed sydnone influences that decreased with increasing number of monomer units. The ground state absorption spectra were slightly red shifted from those of the baseline oligomers not having a sydnone group. The low temperature emission and excitation spectra showed complex dependence on excitation and emission wavelengths, suggesting the chromphores resided in a distribution of solvent environments and conformations. Finally, broad triplet state absorption spectra were observed, with absorption throughout the visible and near infrared regions.

Photoconductivity spectra of trapped electrons in γ-irradiated 3-methylpentane, 2-methylpentane, 3-methylheptane, and 3-methylpentane–methylcyclohexane (1:9 volume ratio) glasses at 77 K were measured. From the comparison of photoconductivity and optical absorption spectra in these systems we have obtained relative values of quantum efficiencies for a trapped electron in the ground state to be excited to the conduction band by photo-induced transition. For electrons stably trapped, we have measured the ranges of trap depths from the shallowest to the deepest in these systems.

The Hamiltonian matrices for 3d3 ions in a cubic crystal field are introduced, based on a molecular orbital model, including the electronic Coulomb and tetrahedral crystal-field interactions and the spin-orbit coupling. The optical absorption spectra of V2+ ions in ZnSe are studied. Moreover, the various additional levels found close to 5680 cm−1 are considered. These levels are assumed to result from the dynamic Jahn-Teller splitting within the excitation levels 2T2 and 2T1 in ZnSe:V2+. The good agreement between the present results and the experimental observations indicates that the contribution of the covalence reduction factors NE and NT2 and of the Racah parameter A to the optical absorption spectra of V2+ ions in ZnSe is important. However, most of the previous theoretical studies of these spectra in ZnSe:V2+ have neglected the Racah parameter A, based on the classical crystalfield model. A significant charge-transfer effect found in recent works is confirmed in ZnSe:V2+.

The optical absorption spectra of green vesuvianite crystals from Lowell County, Vermont, are reported in the energy range 12 000 cm−1 to 30 000 cm−1. The principal absorptions have been attributed to octahedrally bonded Fe3+ and the individual bands have been assigned to spin-forbidden electronic transitions from the 6A1 ground state to excited states in Fe3+. In particular, the 6A1 → 4A14E(G) transition is marked by a relatively sharp band at 21 600 cm−1.

Optical absorption of orthorhombic and hexagonal manganites RMnO3 (R= Pr3+, Gd3+, Sm3+, Eu3+, Ho3+, Tm3+, Er3+, and Yb3+) were studied in polarized light in the near- and mid-infrared range for the temperature range 80 - 300 K. Several spectral features associated with 4f-4f transitions of R3+ ions were found in the transparency window of RMnO3. Anisotropy of the absorption spectra in the range of multiplet 4f-4f transitions and changes in populations of the multiplet levels with temperature were observed.
