Abstract: | The crystal field parameters determined from interpretation of optical spectra are used to analyze distortions of a crystal lattice in the vicinity of an impurity ion and vacancy at a Cs+ site compensating the excess positive charge in the trigonal centers of Yb3+ ions in CsCaF3 crystal. Interactions of the impurity ion with the nearest neighbors (an octahedron of F? ions) and the next nearest neighbors (a cube of Cs+ ions) are considered within the superposition model. It is established that, at formation of the trigonal center, three F? ions of the nearest octahedron, placed symmetrically along the threefold axis on the side of the vacancy, move away from the impurity ion a little and significantly deviate from this axis. The second triangle of F? ions, on the contrary, comes nearer to the impurity ion and nestles on the axis of the center a little. The three Cs+ ions, the second neighbors on the side of the vacancy, slightly come nearer to Yb3+ ion and considerably nestle on the center axis. The second triangle of Cs+ ions, from the opposite side of vacancy, also comes nearer to the paramagnetic ion and also nestles on the center axis a little. The Cs+ ion, lying on the center axis, comes considerably nearer to the impurity ion. |
