Abstract

The wavelike exciton states (free excitons, FE) in rare gas solids (RGS) are not stable. Exciton-phonon interaction induces a lattice deformation at which the excitons are self-trapped (STE). The FE and STE states are separated by a potential barrier. Therefore, in the luminescence spectra of (the heavier) RGS, FE and STE emission coexist1,2. This paper presents new experimental results concerning (i) the self-trapping rate and (ii) the influence of dimensionality on self-trapping.
