Abstract
Activator and coactivator impurities in ZnS act like acceptors and donors. Coulomb interaction between them produces a great degree of association. The edge emission is ascribed to nearest-neighbour acceptor-donor pairs ; the pairs which are not of the nearest-neighbour type are identified with the luminescence centers.

PACS
3350 - Fluorescence and phosphorescence; radiationless transitions, quenching (intersystem crossing, internal conversion).
