Abstract

Vibrational states interacting with a donor exciton in the compound ZnO:Co are revealed by the sensitive method of field exciton-vibrational spectroscopy. The vibrational modes of the electroabsorption spectrum of the compound ZnO:Co in the region of the donor exciton are given an interpretation based on the existing data on the symmetrized local density of states of the compounds ZnO and ZnO:Ni3+. The results are compared with the known data for II–VI:Ni compounds in the case of an acceptor exciton. The position of the donor level of the Co2+ ion relative to the bottom of the conduction band in the given compound is determined and found to conform well to the universal trend for donor levels of 3d ions in II–VI compounds.
