The crystal structural parameters of Nd 3+-doped rare earth orthotantalate Gd x Lu 1 x TaO 4(x = 0.85) are determined by applying the Rietveld refinement to its X-ray diffraction,and its emission and excitation spectra at 77 K are analysed.The relativistic model of ab initio self-consistent DV-Xα method,which is applied to the cluster NdO 8 in Gd x Lu 1 x TaO 4,and the effective Hamiltonian model are used to investigate its spin-orbit and crystal-field parameters.The free-ions and crystal-field parameters are fitted to the experimental energy levels at 77 K with a root-mean-square deviation of 14.92 cm 1.According to the crystal-field calculations,96 levels of Nd 3+ are assigned.Finally,the fitting results of free-ions and crystal-field parameters are compared with those already reported for Nd 3+:YAlO 3.The results indicate that the free-ion parameters are similar to those of the Nd3+ in Gdx Lu1-x TaO4 and YAlO 3 hosts,and the crystal-field interaction of Nd3+ in Gdx Lu1-x TaO4 is stronger than that in YAlO 3.     

Method for fitting crystal field parameters and the energy level fitting for Yb3+ in crystal Sc2O3

<正>A method to compute the numerical derivative of eigenvalues of parameterized crystal field Hamiltonian matrix is given,based on the numerical derivatives the general iteration methods such as Levenberg-Marquardt,Newton method, and so on,can be used to solve crystal field parameters by fitting to experimental energy levels.With the numerical eigenvalue derivative,a detailed iteration algorithm to compute crystal field parameters by fitting experimental energy levels has also been described.This method is used to compute the crystal parameters of Yb~(3+) in Sc_2O_3 crystal, which is prepared by a co-precipitation method and whose structure was refined by Rietveld method.By fitting on the parameters of a simple overlap model of crystal field,the results show that the new method can fit the crystal field energy splitting with fast convergence and good stability.     

The spectrum of Nd in rare earth orthoaluminates. The trigonal to orthorhombic transition study of the level

Some structural and spectroscopic features of rare earth orthoaluminates are examined.The trigonal→ orthorhombic transition is studied in a series of Nd_xSm_1−xAlO₃ compounds.

The spin correlated crystal field and orbitally correlated crystal field models are tested as well as an empirical correction which was proposed earlier.     

Analysis of the optical spectrum of Ho3+ in LiYF4

The energy levels for Ho³⁺ in single crystal LiYF₄ from 0–21,300 cm^?1 have been determined from polarized absorption and fluorescence spectra using crystals at temperatures between 4 and 300°K. Energy level assignments were made initially by comparing the crystal spectra with energy levels calculated by using crystal field parameters interpolated from previously reported analyses of Nd³⁺, Er³⁺ and Tm³⁺ in LiYF₄. The energy level scheme identifies energy levels in the 10 lowest J-multiplets and gives calculated energies for the next six higher J-multiplets. The crystal field parameters were varied to obtain a best fit between experimental and theoretical energies, and the final values B₂₀ = 410, B₄₀ = ? 615, B₄₄ = 819, B₆₀ = ? 27.9 and B₆₄ = 677 ± i32.8 cm^?1 give an r.m.s. fit of 2.78 cm^?1. The calculations were made by diagonalizing the crystal field Hamiltonian, H_x = Σ_kmB_kmC_km, in the space of ten lowest J-multiplets spanned by intermediate coupled free-ion wavefunctions calculated using the free-ion parameters of Carnall et al. for Ho in aqueous solution. The calculated g_∥ for the Γ_3.4 ground state of 13.63 compares favorably with a previously reported value of 13.3 ± 0.1.

The results are discussed.     

EPR,optical absorption and superposition model studies of Fe3+-doped cesium chloride single crystals: a case of substitutional as well as interstitial sites

An electron paramagnetic resonance study of Fe³⁺-doped cesium chloride single crystals was carried out at room temperature. Three sites are observed. The spin Hamiltonian parameters were determined from the angular variation of the observed resonance lines. The hyperfine structure is observed due to the presence of Fe⁵⁷ centers. At site I, Fe³⁺ enters the lattice substitutionally, replacing Cs⁺ in the cubic symmetry of the crystal, whereas at sites II and III, Fe³⁺ enters the lattice interstitially. The local site symmetry of Fe³⁺ in the host lattice is considered to be orthorhombic. An optical absorption study of the crystal was also performed at room temperature. The observed bands were assigned and the Racah inter-electronic repulsion parameters (B and C) and the cubic crystal field splitting parameter (Dq) were determined. On the basis of EPR and optical data, the nature of the metal–ligand bonding in the crystal was determined. The crystal field parameters were evaluated using the superposition model and then used in the microscopic spin Hamiltonian and perturbation equations to determine the zero-field splitting parameters (ZFSPs) theoretically for all sites observed. The theoretical ZFSPs are in good agreement with the experimental values.     

Energy levels fitting and crystal-field calculations of Nd3+ doped in GYSGG crystal

The single crystal Nd³⁺-doped in GdY₂Sc₂Ga₃O₁₂ (Nd³⁺:GYSGG) was grown by Czochralski method successfully, and its absorption spectra was analyzed in a wider spectral wavelength range at 7.6 K and 300 K, respectively. The free-ions and crystal-field parameters were fitted to the experimental energy levels at 7.6 K and 300 K with the root mean square deviation of 11.25 and 12.48 cm^?1, respectively. According to the crystal-field calculations, 116 levels of Nd³⁺ at 7.6 K and 114 levels of Nd³⁺ at 300 K were assigned. The fitting results of free-ions and crystal-field parameters were compared with those already reported of Nd³⁺:GSGG and Nd³⁺:YSAG. The results indicated that the free-ions parameters are similar to those of the Nd³⁺ in GYSGG, GSGG and YSAG crystals, and the crystal-field interaction of GSGG and YSAG is stronger than that of GYSGG, which results in the dual-wavelength properties of Nd³⁺:GYSGG crystal.     

Effect of pressure on fluorescence of Nd3+ in LaCl3

Abstract

Fluorescence from Nd³⁺ in LaCl₃ is measured at 100 K under pressures up to about 10 GPa. The observed variations of the energy levels are used for the evaluation of crystal field parameters. The pressure-dependence of these parameters is compared with the previous results on Pr³⁺ in LaCl₃.     

Influence of the interconfigurational interaction on the crystal field of Ln3+ ions

A theory of the crystal field for Ln³⁺ ions is proposed which takes account of the difference in the effect of excited configurations on high-lying and low-lying multiplets. The effective-operator method in third-order perturbation theory is used to obtain the Hamiltonian of the crystal field, which in addition to the usual terms contains energy-dependent operators. Their role is discussed in detail. For the new operators we have obtained convenient expressions which make it possible for the first time to determine the parameters of an odd crystal field on the basis of an analysis of the structure of the energy spectrum. Theory is compared with experiment for the laser crystals Y₃Al₅O₁₂:Tm³⁺ and LiYF₄:Pr³⁺. Taking the new terms of the crystal-field Hamiltonian into account produces an additional shift of individual levels within the limits from −40 cm⁻¹ to 40 cm⁻¹ and makes it possible in a number of cases not only to substantially reduce the value of the standard deviation, but also to obtain the correct arrangement of levels.
