Optical phonons in mercury chalcogenides doped with selected transition metal ions are investigated by infrared reflectivity and Raman scattering measurements performed at helium temperatures. The results obtained for Hg1-xFexSe, Ηg1-xCoxSe, Ηg1-xFexS and Hg1-xCoxS mixed crystals demonstrate the significant influence of the 3d electron correlation effects and/or sp-d hybridization on the transition metal ion local mode frequency.
