This paper presents a cluster approach for the calculations of the absorption band positions and the g factor of d(2) tetrahedral cluster. In the approach, the different modifications of e and t(2) orbitals of d electrons and the contribution from the spin-orbit coupling of ligands to the EPR g factor due to the mixing of d(2) ions with the ligands are considered. The calculated band positions and g factor for ZnX : V3+ (X = S, Se, Te) crystals show good agreement with the observed values by using only two adjustable parameters. The contribution from the spin-orbit coupling of ligands to the g factor is discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
