Аннотация Semi-empirical quantum chemical simulations of 125-atom clusters have been undertaken to obtain the self-consistent atomic and electronic structure of the two basic electron defects in MgO crystals — F+ and F centers (one and two electrons trapped by an O vacancy). The calculated absorption and luminescence energies agree well with the experimental data, the excited states of both defects are found to be essentially delocalized over nearest-neighbour cations. The mechanism of the F+ → F photoconversion is discussed.
