Growth and optical properties of transition metal oxides single crystal solid solutions
Abstract NiO, CoO, MnO single crystals and single crystal solid solutions of Ni c Mg 1− c O, Co c Mg 1− c O and Mn c Mg 1− c O were grown by the method of chemical transport reaction (the “sandwich” technique). The nature of the observed absorption and luminescence bands is explained in terms of the electronic transition of bivalent nickel, cobalt and manganese. The fine structure of the observed bands in NiO and MnO are connected to the pure exciton transition and to the exciton-magnon excitation.
Magnetic circular dichroism of the 3A2g → 3T2g band of MgO: Ni2+
Abstract The absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra of the 3A2g → 3T2g transition in Ni2+:MgO have been studied. MCD data confirm the magnetic dipole character of the zero-phonon lines. The phonon side bands can be explained in terms of an A1g lattice mode.
