Electron‐Lattice Interaction Parameters Determined from Absorption and MCD Spectra of the F Centers in CsCl and CsBr

Abstract

Electron-Lattice Interaction P a r a m e t e r s Determined from Absorption and MCD Spectra of the F Centers in CsCl and CsBr BY S. MURAMATSU Nearly twenty y e a r s ago, much attention was payed to optical properties of F centers in the cesium halides from a n interest in interplay between large spinorbit and electron-lattice interactions /1 to 4/. The moment method for analyzing the effect of applied perturbations on the properties of the p-like excited states of the F centers was developed by Henry et al. (HSS) /1/ and used to extract important information about the electron-lattice (EL) interaction.
