Abstract

High-resolution (0.10

{cm}^{- 1}

full width at half maximum) photothermal ionization spectroscopy has resolved the ground-state splitting of interstitial lithium into a singlet (

E_{1 S (A_{1})} - E_{2 P \pm} = 66.61

{cm}^{- 1}

) and a triplet (

E_{1 S (T_{2})} - E_{2 P \pm} = 66.98

{cm}^{- 1}

), and resolved four different

1 S

states of the

D (L i, O)

complex:

E_{1 S} - E_{2 P \pm} = 61.75, 66.54, 67.05, and 70.50

{cm}^{- 1}

. In siliconrich samples with [Li] > [O], a new complex,

D (Li, X)

, was observed with

E_{1 S} - E_{2 P \pm} = 70.72 and 67.24

{cm}^{- 1}

.
