We performed two different types of spectral diffusion experiments on persistent spectral holes. In all cases, we measured the holewidth as a function of time. The two experiments differed in their initial conditions: In the type 1 experiment (the ‘‘aging experiment’’), the sample was cooled from room temperature to the final temperatures which were 100 and 800 mK, respectively. Holes were burnt at various time intervals after the final temperature was reached. In the type 2 experiment (the ‘‘cycling experiment’’), the sample was allowed to relax for a period of about 10 days. Then, a hole was burnt and subjected to a temperature cycle. In all cases, the time dependence of the holewidths was strongly nonlogarithmic. The temperature cycled hole showed a narrowing regime which prevailed for the whole observation period of roughly one week. We will show that the deviation from the logarithmic time dependences is a nonequilibrium phenomenon. All features observed could be modelled within the standard tunneling model. © 1996 American Institute of Physics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
