Extrinsic luminescence, excitation, and absorption spectra of ZnO ceramics doped with acceptors (lithium, copper, or silver), as well as undoped ZnO ceramics sintered in various atmospheres, have been studied. It is shown that the acceptor doping leads to the appearance of luminescence bands in the visible spectral interval, and their intensity significantly exceeds the intensity of the corresponding emission from undoped specimens. A selective maximum at 390–400 nm, which is usually absent in the excitation spectra of self-activated luminescence bands in undoped ZnO specimens, is found to dominate in the excitation spectra of those bands. It is supposed to be caused by the interaction between the emitting centers and defects arising near the impurities, with the Auger process being the most probable mechanism of energy transfer from these defects to the emitting centers. By sintering ZnO ceramics in the presence of carbon, it is shown that the appearance of the selective maximum in the excitation spectra occurs due to the extraction of oxygen from ZnO ceramics. An assumption has been done concerning the nature of the centers responsible for the excitation of extrinsic luminescence.
