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.

Calculating Hamiltonian parameters for Yb^3＋ in a low-symmetry lattice site, and fitting the structure and levels of Yb^3＋ ：RETaO4 （RE = Gd, Y, and Sc）

An iterative method is used to find the values of the Hamiltonian parameters for Yb^3＋ in a given low-symmetry crys- talline site. Samples of Yb^3＋ ：RETaO4 （RE = Gd, Y, and Sc） were prepared and their structures were determined. Based on the obtained structural data, their orbital-spin parameters and crystal field parameters were fitted by the superposition model （SM）. Using the crystal field parameters obtained by the SM fitting as the initial parameters, the Hamiltonian parameters were fitted iteratively. The calculated and experimental energy levels for Yb^3＋：RETaO4 are consistent, and the maximal mean-root-square deviation is only 2.84 cm^- 1, indicating that the method is effective to determine the Hamiltonian parameters of Yb^3＋ in low-symmetry crystalline sites.
