Abstract:
The breathing-type distortion around transition-metal ions incorporated into semiconductors is determined in the approximation where the ligands are treated as point charges. It is shown how the crystal-field parameter can be found along with the value of the breathing-mode distortion energy from zero-phonon line measurements. The change of the transition-metal–ligand distance with respect to the equilibrium distance of the perfect crystal is also calculated.
