Abstract

Zeeman measurements in magnetic fields up to 16 T have been performed on the no-phonon lines labelled #3, #4, and #8 of the spectrum of ytterbium impurities in indium phosphide. A strong polarization effect and changes in intensities were observed. An energy level diagram is presented that satisfactorily explains the magnetic field effect and the relative intensities of the photoluminescence lines and is consistent with experiments described in the literature.
