R. Heitz et al., SITE-SELECTIVE STUDY OF PICOSECOND RELAXATION PROCESSES OF NI-2+ IN POLYMORPHIC ZNS, Physica. B, Condensed matter, 185(1-4), 1993, pp. 234-238
The time dependence of the 3T1(P)-3T1(F) luminescence of Ni2+ centres
in polymorphic ZnS crystals is investigated. By means of time- and sit
e-selective spectroscopy both decay and thermalization processes in th
e ps-domain are demonstrated. Especially, the interaction with low-fre
quency phonons is altered by changes in the local environment of the N
i2+ ion.
