摘要
High resolution near-infrared photoluminescence and photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy of excitons bound to the shallow acceptor Al in Si provide clear evidence of an intrinsic 0.1 cm(-1) splitting of the neutral acceptor ground state. This is contrary to the very widespread expectation that in the absence of perturbations the neutral acceptor ground state is the fourfold degenerate Gamma(8) level. Similar results for Ga and In accepters are briefly described, underlining the generality of the observed effect.
