Title: Zeeman effect of Lyman transitions : electronic Raman spectrum of boron acceptors in diamond.

Abstract

Substitutional boron impurities in diamond exhibit characteristic Lyman transitions, originating in the lower 1s(p{sub 3/2}): {Gamma}{sub 8} ground state and terminating in its spin-orbit split 1s(p{sub 1/2}): {Gamma}{sub 7} counterpart. In addition to the Lyman spectrum observed in the infrared having p-like final states, the 1s(p{sub 3/2}) {yields} 1s(p{sub 1/2}) transition ({Delta}') appears as an electronic Raman line. We have investigated the Zeeman effect of the {Delta}' Raman line for magnetic field B along different crystallographic directions, for a variety of scattering geometries. The Zeeman components for B{sup {parallel}}[001], corresponding to pseudo-angular momentum change of 0, {+-}2 ({+-}1), with incident light polarized perpendicular (parallel) to B, occur with relative intensities proportional to the squares of the Luttinger parameters, taking account of thermal depopulation effects. In addition, Raman transitions within the 1s(p{sub 3/2}) Zeeman multiplet, i.e. Raman electron-paramagnetic-resonance (EPR) lines, are observed. Measurements yield g-factors for the orbital and spin contributions to the Zeeman energy and are g{sub 1} = -0.39 {+-} 0.04 and g{sub 2} = -2.04 {+-} 0.10, respectively, which characterize the {Gamma}{sub 8} and {Gamma}{sub 7} multiplets.
