Abstract
Microwave and optical Zeeman data on paramagnetic copper defects are reviewed and analysed in relation to the infrared centre which yields 1.3-2.2 mu m emission in zinc and cadmium sulphide. Certain difficulties associated with the interpretation in terms of a Cu2+ model are discussed. Configuration and a dynamic Jahn-Teller interaction are introduced in order to provide a theoretical framework to account for the data. Close quantitative agreement between theory and experiment is not possible and can only be approached by introducing a large dynamic Jahn-Teller coupling. An alternative interpretation in terms of a cation vacancy model shows some promise if appreciable configuration interaction is invoked.
