Abstract. The influence of magnesium impurities on luminescent properties of ZnS:Cu,Mg using obtained by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) has been investigated. Special attention was paid to changes of photoluminescence spectra caused by relaxation processes in ZnS:Cu,Mg-SHS. It was shown that introduction of magnesium into ZnS:Cu-SHS leads to a change in symmetry of ZnS crystal lattice. It leads to relaxation quenching the photoluminescence bands caused by presence of copper impurities in ZnS.

Keywords: self-propagating high-temperature synthesis, photoluminescence spectra, luminescence excitation spectra, electron microscopy.
