description

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.
