We report high-resolution infrared absorption spectra of the neutral donors phosphorus and lithium, and the neutral acceptor boron, in isotopically pure Si-28 crystals. Surprisingly, many of the transitions are much sharper than previously reported in natural Si. In particular, the 2p(0) line of phosphorus in Si-28 has a full width at half maximum of only 4.2 mueV, about 5 times less than the narrowest 2p(0) line previously reported for natural Si, making it the narrowest shallow impurity transition yet observed. The widely held assumptions that the impurity transitions previously reported in high quality samples of natural Si revealed the true, homogeneous linewidths, are thus shown to be incorrect. The sharper transitions in Si-28 also reveal new substructures in the boron and lithium spectra.
