We investigated the linewidth and position of the zero phonon line (ZPL) of the negatively charged silicon vacancy centre (SiV−) in diamond using photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectroscopy. We also measured its flourescence lifetime using pulsed excitation measurements at temperatures ranging form 4 K to 350 K. The resulting linear linewidth dependency below 20K can be explained with a first-order model of electron-phonon interactions. Explaining the T3 dependency for linewidth and lineshift at higher temperatures requires second-order interactions to be included. This situation is similar to that found in the NV−, but the inversion symmetry of SiV− leads to T3 instead of T5. The radiative lifetime results can de described by a Mott-Seitz mechanism.
Further implications of this model will be discussed in the talk by Kay Jahnke, a preprint version of the associated paper is available as arXiv:1411.2871 [quant-ph].
