Jahn - Teller Effect in Diamond - like Carbon
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Jahn-Teller effect used semi-theoretically to analyse UV-visible spectra of the diamond like-carbon films on Si substrates. By deconvolution of UV-visible absorption spectra of the typical films, different absorption lines found. For each sample, six lines which were related to V • by Jahn-Teller effect are distinguished. Our theoretical approach based on distortion of the V • as the consequence of the stress in the films, is in agreement with experimental results. The shift of the Jahn-Teller lines toward the zero phonon line of V • were found in accordance to stress decrease in the films. The difference between room temperature and low temperature spectra is discussed. We found that the splitting of the excited state of V • in the films under stress is twice as large as that of the ground state.

Reply to ‘ ‘ Comment on ‘ Electronic structure of the N - V center in diamond : Theory ’ ’ ’
We present insights into the electronic structure and relaxation of N-V color centers in diamond which support the contention that Jahn-Teller effects may play a very significant role in the excited E state. We also consider several opposing arguments, but show that the unusual relaxation behavior of the N-V center can mask common signatures of the Jahn-Teller effect, and that it remains a stro...
متن کاملThe Jahn-teller Instability with Accidental Degeneracy
The Jahn-Teller theorem predicts that orbitally degenerate complexes in solids can lower their energy by a distortion which lowers their symmetry. Exact degeneracy is not necessary for this instability; usually it suffices if the actual separation of the energy levels involved is less than the energy reduction which would result if they were exactly degenerate. We discuss various cases of accid...

متن کاملTheoretical implications of the stress and magnetic field splitting of the GRl line in diamond
The g value of the excited state associated with the GR1 line is analysed in terms of the Coulson-Kearsley defect-molecule model for the vacancy in diamond. It is shown that the experimentally observed g value is entirely consistent with the expected ’T, level of the model provided quenching by the dynamic Jahn-Teller effect is considered. This quenching is estimated from stress splitting data ...
متن کاملObservation of the dynamic Jahn-Teller effect in the excited states of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond.
The optical transition linewidth and emission polarization of single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers are measured from 5 K to room temperature. Interexcited state population relaxation is shown to broaden the zero-phonon line and both the relaxation and linewidth are found to follow a T(5) dependence for T < 100 K. This dependence indicates that the dynamic Jahn-Teller effect is the dominant deph...
