Abstract

The single crystal of $Mg_{0.16}Zn_{0.84}$Te:Co(Co:0.01 mole%) was grown by vertical Bridgman method. The crystal structure of $Mg_{0.16}Zn$_{0.84}$Te:Co and optical absorption properties of this compound were studied. The grown single crystal has a cubic structure and a lattice constant a=6.1422 $\AA$ were determined by X-ray diffraction. As a result of the optical absorption spectra of $Mg_{0.16}Zn_{0.84}$Te:Co, the intracenter transitions due to $Co^{2+}$ ions were detected for $A-band:^4A_2(^4F){\to}^4T_2(^4F),\; B-band:^4A_2(^4F){\to}^4T_1(^4F), C- band:^4A_2(^4F){\to}^4T_1(^4P)$.The charge transfer transition near the absorption edge was observed in the wavelength range of 550 to 770 nm. According to the crystal field theory, the crystal field parameter(Dq) and the Racah parameter(B) were determined.

수직 Bridgman방법으로 $Mg_{0.18}Zn_{0.84}$Te:Co(Co:0.01 mole%)단결정을 성장시켰다. 성장된 단결정의 결정구조와 광흡수 spectra를 연구하였다. X 선 회절무늬로부터 성장된 단결정의 구조는 cubic구조이었고 격자상수 a=6.1422 $\AA$이었다. 광흡수 측정결과 $Co^{2+}$ 이온에 기인된 $A-band:^4A_2(^4F){\to}^4T_2(^4F),\; B-band:^4A_2(^4F){\to}^4T_1(^4F), C- band:^4A_2(^4F){\to}^4T_1(^4P)$의 intracenter transition과, 흡수단 근처의 charge transfer에 의한 photoionization transition에 관계된 D-band를 550-770 nm의 파장영역에서 관측하였다. 또한 결정장 이론에 의해 결정매개변수(Dq)와 Racah parameter(B)를 결정하였다.
