Abstract:PACS 71.55. Gs, 78.70.En, Experimental studies of X-ray photoelectron and Co Lα X-ray emission spectra of the ZnS:Co semiconductor were carried out. It was established that Co ions are in a Co 2+ configuration and that the Co 3d impurity states are localized above the top of the valence band by 1.0 ± 0.2 eV. It was found that the covalency reduction factor for Co 2+ defect changes through the alloy from 0.62 in ZnSe lattice to 0.59 in ZnS.1 Introduction Interest in the study of the electronic structure of wide… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
