Abstract

The coupling to lattice vibrations affects the photoionisation spectra of defects in semiconductors. This is especially important for deep defects. The effects are characterised mainly by a Huang-Rhys factor S0 and by a spectral moment. These are calculated for a variety of electron-photon coupling mechanisms as a function of the observable ionisation energy EI rather than the unobservable effective radius used by previous workers. For Frohlich coupling a good approximation for the Huang-Rhys factor is S0(x)/S0(0)=X/ square root ((5+x)/6) with x=EI/(effective Ryd for purely hydrogenic centre).
