Abstract
ZnS:Ni crystals exhibit at low temperatures a new emission [1] which is assigned to the transition 3T1 (P) → 3T1 (F) of the ion, based on absorption data [2,3] and on preparation evidence. The structured emission spectrum observed in Ni-doped cubic crystals is superimposed on the tail of a broad Ni-related recombination band peaking at higher energy. A dip (c1) coincides with the most prominent absorption line at cm−1 thus indicating self-absorption. The luminescence is dominated by a sharp peak C4 at cm−1. By shifting the emission spectrum along the abscissa such that C4 coincides with the main emission line A4 at cm−1 representing the 3T1(F) → 3T1 (F) Ni2+ transition [3], a striking similarity of these structures is revealed (Fig.).
