摘要
Eu-related recombination processes in ZnS are discussed on the basis of electron-spin-resonance (ESR) and optical studies. The absence of any Eu2+ and/or Eu3+ intra-ion emissions is explained as a consequence of the midgap position of Eu2+ in ZnS. A new Eu-related infrared emission is observed and attributed to a bound-exciton (BE) recombination. In the Eu-bound exciton the hole is strongly localized on the 4f shell of Eu, whereas the electron is either delocalized on the 12 nearest-neighbor Zn-cation sites (for isolated Eu) or trapped at a compensating ion (for Eu complexes). The BE dissociation energy is determined to be about 10 meV. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
