The results of calculations of the valence band top, conduction band bottom, optical band gap, gap states formed by the homopolar bonds and clusters in ZnS: Cu, Cl crystallophosphors have been presented. The calculation procedure has been based on the linear combination of atomic orbitals and pseudo-potential methods. The energy values have been determined in the centre of the Brillouin zone. The atomic terms determined within Herman-Skillman and Hartree-Fock approximations have been used in the calculations. The quantitative agreement between theoretical and experimental data on the band gap and photoemission threshold for this type of materials has been shown. The energy values for the optical transitions have been determined (1.77; 2.41; 2.65 and 2.95 eV) and correlated with the experimental emission spectra for the samples processed under different conditions.

Introduction The use of reliable theories giving insight into the basic fundamental physical properties of solids gives possibil- ity to predict the band gap structure and properties for the novel materials, and to make correct interpretation of the effect of preparation techniques and external fac- tors on these properties. The methods of the linear combination of atomic or- bitals and pseudo-potential are known to be used for the calculation of physical parameters of solids [1]. This method now is being used for the calculations of the band gap structure and properties for a number of materials [2�7]. The calculations have also been carried out for ZnS crystals. Bearing in mind that this method being still under development (see, [8�9]) enables the calculation of the radiative transitions from the electronic structure of the solid. It can be used for the simulation of electronic states in the band gap and the fundamental properties of ZnS: Cu, Cl phosphors within the same model. In this method of calculations, the intratomic parameters (terms), determined within the Hartree-Fock approxima- tion are applicable. In this work, the calculations have been performed for different approximations, since the results of the calculations in different specified cases can coincide or differ. The interatomic distance dependence of the matrix element characterising the covalent bond- ing energy requires the detailed analysis of the correla- tion of solid body properties with this parameter. For the analysis, the compounds of AIIBVI type (ZnS, ZnSe, and ZnTe) have been chosen. Zinc sulphide doped with Cu and/or Cl manifests the electronic states inherent to Cu2S and CuCl compounds. These electronic states are responsible for the changes in the luminescence spectra and physical properties of the doped ZnS. Thus, the calculations should be done for these compounds as well. This work is devoted to the simulation of the elec- tronic structure for ZnS: Cu, Cl crystallophosphors and its correlation with the known experimental results. 2. Simulation of optical properties for chalcogenides of zinc and activator and co-activator based compounds To calculate the positions of the electronic states in the band gap for semiconductors, it is necessary to know 134 SQO, 7(2), 2004 N.D. Savchenko et al.: Simulation of the electronic states in the band gap of� the energy position of the upper part of the valence band (Ev) and the bottom of the conduction band (Ec) with respect to the vacuum level. These values can be calcu- lated following the formulae given in the works by W.A. Harrison [1, 10�13]: relax a p c p v EV.VVE +++− + = 1 2 3 2 2 111 2 εε , (1) 2 2 UE a p c p c + + = εε , (2) where c pε and a pε are the atomic terms of the cation (Zn, Cu) and anion (S, Cl) p-states. The metallic bond energy (V1) and ionic bond energy (V3) have been found from the equations: 82 11 1 c s c p a s a p ac VV V εεεε −+− =+= , (3) 23 a p c pV εε − = , (4) where c sε and a sε are the atomic terms of the anion and cation s-states. The values for the atomic terms have been taken from Ref. [1]. The covalent bonding energy (V2) has been determined from the equation: 22 md ç V h= , (5) where η = 2.16 is the dimensionless coefficient that derives the approximate values of the interatomic interaction matrix elements for the Γ-point, the centre of the Brillouin zone, ðh 2=h is the Planck constant, m is the electronic mass. The relaxation energy Erelax has been calculated from Eq. (13): ε ε 2 )1( −= U Erelax (6) where ε is the dielectric constant. In the calculations, the following values for this magnitude have been used [14]: for ZnS � ε = 5.3, for ZnSe � ε = 6.3, for ZnTe � ε = 7.8, and for CuCl � ε = 5.7. For Cu2S the calculated value of ε = 3.7 has been used. The intratomic Coulomb repulsion U has been calcu- lated following Eq. (13): 2121 2 2 2 2 2 4 5 /a p c p / h m eU         +         = εεπ (7) where e is the electronic charge. The photoemission threshold (Φ) corresponds to the energy of Ev, that is Φ = Ev, and the band gap is Eg = |Ec � Ev|. The procedure of going from the atomic p-orbitals to the energy bands for ZnS crystals has been illustrated in Fig. 1. The following designations have been made there: V1* = 1.11V1; Epπ is the energy corresponding to the non- bonding π-states S 3p of sulphur atoms in ZnS band gap. The latter has been derived from the formula: .SUE pp )(2+= επ (8) When going from the atomic terms to the energy bands in solids non-bonding states have been splitted into a nar- row (near ±0.2 eV) band [15] the lower part of which is occupied with electrons. The energy parameters V1, V2, V3, U and Erelax, calcu- lated within Herman-Skillman and Hartree-Fock approxima- tions, and experimental d, Eg and Φ values for ZnS, ZnSe, ZnTe, Cu2S and CuCl compounds are given in the Table. Simulation of the internuclear distance d has been performed using the data on the covalent atomic radii by Pauling and Haggins [16]. From this Table, it is seen that the experimen- tal and calculated d values are in agreement within the accuracy of ±0.001 nm. Theoretical and experimental dependences of the band gap and photoemission threshold for AIIBVI compounds on the internuclear distance d are presented in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3. From Fig. 2 it is seen that for ZnS the experimental Eg values closest to the calculated ones have been obtained with the terms, calculated within the Herman-Skillman ap- proximation. Thus, in simulation of the electronic states in ZnS band gap, this approximation is applicable. The varia- tion of the photoemission threshold with the internuclear distance in the compounds of AIIBVI type (Fig. 3) is in quali- tative agreement with theoretical data. As it has been shown in examination, for the experimental Φ and d values the magnitude of dlnΦ/dlnd equals to �2, while for those cal- culated within Herman-Skillman and Hartree-Fock ap- proximations, these magnitudes are �3.0 and �2.5, re- spectively. 3.

Experimental energy val- ues related to the peak in the emission spectrum are given along with these values in parentheses [19, 20]. Electronic states with the energies of E1 and E2 corre- spond to Zn 4p and Zn sp3 atomic terms. Electronic states with the energy of E3 are formed by the bonding Zn 4p states of Zn-Zn homopolar bonds. For these states, the splitting value can be found from Eq. (5) and is V2 = 2.35 eV. The internuclear distance d for Zn-Zn bond equals to 0.266 nm [21]. E4 electronic states correspond to the en- ergy of the bottom of the non-bonding p-band. In ZnS: Cu phosphors (Fig. 4,b) additional E5 elec- tronic states corresponding to the hybridized states of copper atoms (Cu sp3) can be formed in the band gap. The electronic states forming the bottom of the conduc- tion band in Cu2S fall into the band gap of these materi- als too. They are denoted as Ev* in Fig. 4, b. In ZnS: Cl phosphors (Fig. 4, c) no new electronic states are formed in the band gap. One can suppose that Cl atoms compensate Zn sp3 electronic states, and thus the red emission band in these phosphors fades out. Doping of ZnS with Cu and Cl atoms results in blue (2.8 eV) and green (2.4 eV) emission of these phosphors only (Fig. 4, d). The shift of the blue band towards lower energies is liable to stem from the occupation of the lower part of p-band by the electrons.

Savchenko et al.: Simulation of the electronic states in the band gap of � 137SQO, 7(2), 2004 can originate from the reduction of the Cu-S bonds number due to formation of more efficient Cu-Cl bonds. Fig. 5 shows emission spectra of photoluminescence, electroluminescence and cathodoluminescence for pure and doped ZnS single crystals reported by different authors [20�24] and powders doped with copper and chlorine (cur- ve 7) obtained in these studies. The arrows in this figure show the energy values corresponding to the optical tran- sitions in visible spectral range given in Fig. 4. As seen, these energy values (1.77; 2.41; 2.65 and 2.95 eV) are in good agreement with positions of the peaks in emission spectra observed experimentally. 4. Conclusions The energy band diagram for ZnS: Cu, Cl phosphors has been calculated. The applicability of the modified LCAO method for the calculation of the electronic states in the band gap has been demonstrated. The quantitative agreement between theoretical and experimental data on the band gap and photoemission threshold has been shown. The possible optical transitions responsible for the position of the peaks in experimental emission spectra have been determined. The method can be used as a new approach to the mod- elling of the luminescence centres and thus understanding of the nature of degradation processes. References 1. W.A.
