Abstract:
Soft $X$-ray (XUV) excitation did make it possible to avoid the
predominant role of the surface effects in luminescence of NiO and revealed a
bulk luminescence with a puzzling well isolated doublet of very narrow lines
with close energies near $3.3$ eV which is assigned to recombination
transitions in self-trapped $d$-$d$ charge transfer (CT) excitons formed by
coupled Jahn–Teller Ni$^+$ and Ni$^{3+}$ centers. The conclusion is
supported both by a comparative analysis of the CT luminescence spectra for
NiO and solid solutions Ni$_{x}$Zn$_{1-x}$O, and by a comprehensive cluster
model assignement of different $p$-$d$ and $d$-$d$ CT transitions, their
relaxation channels. To the best of our knowledge it is the first observation
of the luminescence due to self-trapped $d$-$d$ CT excitons.
