A line shape analysis of free-exciton low-temperature (4.2 K) photoluminescence spectra is applied to monitor the heating of Si samples due to an exciting Arf-ion laser beam. The heating is studied in dependence on the laser beam intensity. The temperature as a line shape fitting parameter can be established within ho.15 K. Continuous minor increase of the sample temperature is observed up to an intensity of-200 W cmm2, followed by an abrupt temperature jump up to tens of K. Possible inaccuracies, resulting from the heating, in photoluminescent quantitative determination of boron, phosphorus, and aluminum are discussed.

Abstract— Low temperature (T= 10 K) site‐selection fluorescence and excitation spectra of both isolated pheophorbide‐a molecules (I PHEO) and pheophorbide covalently bonded to the synthetic l‐lysyl‐l‐alanyl‐l.‐alanine polypeptide (B PHEO) were measured in dimethylformamide (DMF) matrices. The fluorescence spectra display sharp vibronic lines at different wavenumbers for different dye laser excitation wavelengths, superimposed on a broad band background. Spectral analysis provides frequencies of normal vibrations (FNV) and site distribution functions (SDF). The FNV and SDF of I PHEO in DMF have been found to show good agreement with other chlorophyll‐like molecules. A covalent binding between the polypeptide and PHEO molecules produces only slight changes in FNV but significant broadenings and shifts to lower energies in SDF. The fluorescence spectra of I PHEO in a typical Shpolskii matrix (n‐octane) were also measured and found to exhibit sharp non‐shifting vibronic lines for all wavelengths and kinds of excitation. A general model explaining both site‐selection and Shpolskii spectroscopy is presented.
