Аннотация:Calculations of the band structure, partial densities of states and optical spectra of permittivity, reflectivity and absorption of perfect ZnMoO4 crystal were performed using the full-potential linear-augmented-plane-wave method. It is shown that the calculated reflectivity spectra reproduce the main features of corresponding experimental spectra in the fundamental
absorption region. The bandgap value of ZnMoO4 is estimated as Eg = 4.3 eV. Peculiarities of
luminescence excitation spectra corrected for near-surface losses and losses on reflectivity are
discussed, taking into account the results of the calculations. It is found that the energy
structure of the lower part of conduction band is manifested in the excitation spectra of the
intrinsic luminescence. The excitation spectra in the region 4.3–8.0 eV are formed by
band-to-band electronic transitions mainly within the molybdate groups MoO42-, whereas
electronic states of Zn2+ cations are not directly involved into the excitation processes. It is
shown that the structure of the intrinsic luminescence excitation spectrum depends on the
temperature and mechanisms of the structure modification are discussed.
