Popis: | The matrix isolation technique is a powerful technique for specific questions. But due to relatively high impurity concentrations (10-2−10-4) the impurity is not in a real matrix-isolated case, as in theoretical descriptions. In addition, due to sample preparation (cold deposition) the matrix resembles more an amorphous thin film rather than a good crystal, in terms of solid state physics. As a consequence, many spectroscopic data or phenomena were misinterpreted in the past. Therefore, we studied the real matrix-isolated case (∼10-7) in pretty good bulk matrix material. Looking at impurity spectra (CO, CO2, and their isotopes) and analyzing bandwidths, frequencies, and intensities as a function of temperature, we could characterize the quality of structural phase transitions of matrix and its hysteresis; we could unambiguously assign crystal field splitting to orientations of matrix-isolated particles in the host crystal; we could separate homogeneous from inhomogeneous bandwidth and discuss crystal qual... |
