      First, only the contribution of the band vibrations is considered. As discussed above, the equilibrium positions of the electronic states I and II in the configuration coordinate q s differ for an infinitesimal quantity Δq s , whereas the oscillator frequencies do not change, (ω I, s = ω II, s = ω s ). The relationship between the vibrational wave functions is therefore:

      (2.22)equation

      (2.23)equation

      where we have account for the properties of orthonormality and symmetry of the vibrational functions. The remaining integral can be expressed in terms of the average kinetic energy:

      (2.24)equation

      where images is the kinetic energy averaged over the nth state of the sth oscillator and M s is the nuclear mass defined in the normal mode s. According to the virial theorem:

      (2.25)equation

      (2.26)equation

      and its square is

      (2.27)equation

      where the terms of the order of images are neglected.

      To solve Eq. (2.21), because of the independence of normal modes, the states of the oscillator 1 are separated from the remaining set n and are averaged over them:

      (2.29)equation

      E 1(T) is the average thermal energy of a linear harmonic oscillator:

      (2.30)equation

      where images is the average quantum number of the oscillator 1. The same algorithm is applied on the states of other oscillator numbers and after a bit of algebra, the integrated intensity of ZPL is found to be:

      (2.31)equation

      where T s is the effective temperature of a harmonic oscillator:

      (2.32)equation

      It is useful to introduce the dimensionless parameter, called Huang Rhys factor [12], for the band vibrations:

      (2.34)equation

      it gives the amount of the vibrational relaxation energy in units of the vibrational quantum.

      After introducing images, the expression for I ZPL(T) can be rewritten as:

      (2.35)equation

      At low temperature, namely kT ≪ ℏω s , coth(ℏω s /2kT) → 1 or T s → (ℏω s )/2k and I ZPL(T) becomes:

      (2.36)equation

      that increases with decreasing the total Huang Rhys factor, images. At high temperature, namely kT ≫ ℏω s , coth(ℏω s /2kT) → 2kT/ℏω s or kT s kT and the expression for I ZPL(T) becomes:

      (2.37)equation

      In this case, I ZPL(T) decreases exponentially with increasing temperature and drops faster the larger is the Huang Rhys factor.

      2.1.4 Phonon Line Structure

      In the following, we deal with the phonon coupled transitions to succeed in describing the shape of the whole band and its temperature dependence; the effects of band vibrations and localized vibrations will be separately discussed.

      As introduced in Section 2.1.1, band vibrations correspond to the transitions in which phonons of the matrix are created
