%0 Journal Article %A Domínguez-Adame Acosta, Francisco %T Motional narrowing effect in certain random binary lattices %D 2000 %@ 0375-9601 %U https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/59354 %X We present a model for a class of random binary lattices by introducing a one-dimensional system where impurities are placed in one sublattice while host atoms lie on the other sublattice. The source of disorder is the stochastic fluctuation of the impurity energy from site to site. We study the optical absorption spectra and the peculiarities of the motional narrowing effect at the band edges for perturbative and nonperturbative degrees of disorder. Analytical results agree well with numerical simulations. %~
