Im. Bolesta et al., ELECTRONIC STATES OF IMPURITIES LOCALIZED IN VAN-DER-WAALS GAPS OF CDI2 LAYERED CRYSTALS, Inorganic materials, 32(10), 1996, pp. 1108-1110
The electronic spectrum of impurity atoms localized in van der Waals g
aps of cadmium iodide layered crystals is calculated by the MO LCAO me
thod. The dependence of the energy of impurity states on the nature of
the impurity atom, its environment, and the occupancy of voids is exa
mined. The calculated data are consistent with the measured optical sp
ectra of CdI2 crystals intercalated with Cd, Ag, Au, Cu, and Pb atoms.
