Abstract
AbstractA tunnel mechanism of vibrational relaxation is proposed for a class of emission centres which are characterized by a weak coupling to the crystalline environment and have vibrational quanta considerably exceeding phonon energies. For such kind of centres, e.g. for R centres in solidified rare gases, a new relaxation channel, connected with the anharmonicity of vibrations, appears. The theory is applied to the centre Ne in solid Ne: a direct calculation of the probabilities of vibrational transitions is carried out.
