The effect of a magnetic pulsed field (MPF) of induction B = 1 T on photoluminescence, electroluminescence, and luminescence excitation spectra of powdered ZnS doped with CuCl, In, and MnS is investigated. It is shown that MPF treatment of these materials changes the photoluminescence spectra only in the case of luminophor ZnS:In whereas only the luminescence excitation spectra change for ZnS:CuCl and ZnS:Mn.Introduction. It is well known that an energetically weak magnetic field (MF) of induction B ≈ 1 T can effectively influence at room temperature physical processes in nonmagnetic materials and cause long-term residual changes in their properties. According to the literature [1,2], this can be explained by the influence of the MF on the kinetics and yield of spin-coupled reactions in the subsystem of paramagnetic structural defects that is manifested in dislocation mobility. The nature of these effects is related to the fact that the MF interferes with the evolution of paramagnetic particles during a short (1-10 ns) intermediate stage during which spin-lattice relaxation cannot occur. The duration of spin conversion is ~10 -10 sec for MF induction of B ≈ 1 T. Therefore, investigations of property changes of actual crystals influenced by external MF can provide information on the occurrence of physical processes in the subsystem of structural defects with nanosecond resolution [1][2][3][4]. Furthermore, the ability to direct the influence on the subsystem of structural defects and other paramagnetic components of the material has important applied signficance. Defects are exceedingly common luminescence quenchers in A II B VI materials used as luminophors. Therefore, any method that allows luminescence centers to be activated in the material by removing quenching centers from the recombination region should be studied in detail.Research on the influence of MF on the luminescence properties of single crystals of ZnS [5] and AgCl [6] made it possible to evaluate the concentration change of defects in these materials with a change of the absolute intensities of their luminescence bands. The goal of the present work is to explain the influence of a weak magnetic pulsed field (MPF) on the efficiency of transitions corresponding to excitation and recombination of charge carriers and on intracenter luminescence based on the luminescence research methods. Powdered luminophors based on ZnS doped with impurities that are the ones most often used as coactivators (Cl,In [7,8]) and activators ) of ZnS luminescence were selected for the research. Moreover, an impurity of Mn in ZnS has another interesting feature. It has intracenter transitions in its unfilled 3d-shell.Experimental. Powdered ZnS (ETO.035.295 TU) was doped with ~15 µm (80% composition) particles by annealing together at 800 o C for 1 h (using an activated carbon gas trap) with one of CuCl, MnS, or In. We investigated pairs of identical samples of doped ZnS, one of which was treated with a MPF; the other, (which was not treated with a MPF) used as a control. Po...
