Calculations are given for clusters, modeling the electronic structure of the oxygen vacancies in ZrO 2 crystals by means of the self‐consistent scattered waves method. The crystalline cluster model is used for the description of the properties of a perfect crystal, while the properties of a defect are described by the embedded cluster model. Forming of vacancies in a ZrO 2 perfect crystal is shown to result in trapping of one or two electrons on a vacancy and forming of F + ‐ and F‐centers with local states in the perfect crystal energy gap. The characteristics obtained of the electronic structure of F + ‐ and F‐centers are in satisfactory accord with the known experimental data.
