S. Hirota et al., INFRARED TRANSIENT ABSORPTION AND ELECTRONIC-STATE OF LOCALIZED SELF-TRAPPED EXCITONS IN KCL-I, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 52(11), 1995, pp. 7779-7782
The infrared transient absorption and electronic state of the on-cente
r-type self-trapped exciton (STE) localized at an iodine dimer in KCl:
I were investigated. The polarization properties and vibronic structur
e of the absorption band indicate that the electronic state of the on-
center-type STE is rather extended so that the splitting of the 2p-lik
e sublevels is very small.
