Optical line shapes of color centers in solids from classical autocorrelation functions by Christopher Linderälv, Nicklas Österbacka, Julia Wiktor, Paul Erhart

“…We apply this methodology to the $${({{\rm{V}}}_{{\rm{Si}}}{{\rm{V}}}_{{\rm{C}}})}_{kk}^{0}$$ ( V Si V C ) k k 0 divacancy defect in 4H-SiC and demonstrate that at low temperatures, the present MD-ACF approach reproduces results from the traditional generating function approach. Unlike the latter, it is, however, also applicable at high temperatures as it avoids harmonic and parallel-mode approximations and can be applied to study non-crystalline materials. …”
