Abstract
Single crystals with a ZnS structure are of great practical value, in which connection they are studied in detail by different methods including the spectroscopic. In particular, such crystals activated by ion impurities are investigated in detail by the EPR method. However, the spin-lattice relaxation (SLR) of such systems has hardly been studied. Papers studying the SLR of cubic Mn2+ centers [1] and trigonal Nd3+ and Yb3+ [2] centers in ZnS did only appear recently.
