Abstract

Optical absorption and luminescence with zero-phonon lines at 1.401 and 1.404 eV is shown to contain fine structure induced by the isotopes of natural Ni. Uniaxial stress and magnetic field perturbations establish that the optical center has trigonal symmetry. A relationship is estimated between the concentration of Ni in these optical centers and the strength of the optical absorption.
