Abstract

The optical properties of the red modification of mercuric iodide (HgJ2) were studied by optical absorption, magnetic circular dichroism, photoluminescence and optically detected magnetic resonance investigations. The experiments demonstrate the involvment of acceptors with energy levels at Ev + 0.14 ± 0.01 eV and 0.15 ± 0.01 eV in the absorption and recombination at 2.2 eV. The g - values are 0.85 and 0.74, respectively.
