Abstract

Optical spectra and structural data of mixed crystals Cu_xZn_1-xCr₂O₄, Ni_xZn_1-xCr₂O₄, and Cu_1-xNi_xCr₂O₄ are reported. The optical results are used as a probe characterizing the d -contributions to the Cu-O bonds. The cooperative Jahn-Teller forces are analyzed, extending the statistical model by Wojtowicz to the tetrahedral sublattice. Thermodynamical and optical data are used to estimate the corresponding cooperative strain energies. A microscopic bonding model is proposed which is based on the bonding properties of the oxygen ligands with respect to Cu²⁺ due to the presence of the “contrapolarizing” Cr³⁺ cations. This concept makes it possible to understand the enhancement of the local Jahn-Teller distortions with increasing cooperativeness.
