Strontium Tetraborate Glasses Doped with Transition Metal Ions: EPR and Optical Absorption Study

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and optical studies have been carried out on Cu(II)-, VO(II)- and Cr(III)-doped strontium tetraborate glasses to understand the distortion and substitution of these ions. The EPR results of Cu(II) glass indicate that g _∥ > g _⊥, typical for the tetragonally elongated octahedral site of the Cu(II) impurity. The evaluated covalency parameter 0.788 suggests a moderate covalency for the bonding. By correlating EPR and optical results, the in-plane π-bonding β₁ ² is evaluated as 0.715. In the vanadium-doped glasses, the distortion must be a tetragonally elongated octahedron, similar to Cu(II). However, the EPR studies show that g _⊥ > g _∥ indicating the tetragonally compressed octahedral site for the ion. The site symmetry is C _4V. Supported by the optical absorption, evaluated parameters propose a moderate covalency. The EPR and optical results for Cr(III) glass indicate the distorted octahedral site symmetry in the host lattice. These results further suggest that the bonding between Cr(III) and the ligands is covalent. Authors' address: Renduchintala V. S. S. N.

晶态四硼酸锶中二价镝的发射

在室温下测量了在空气中灼烧掺杂Dy2O3的SrB3O7的发射光谱。观测到了由Dy^3 到Dy^2 氧化态的变化。经优化,当在空气中灼烧温度为650℃时为产生Dy^2 的最佳温度。在457．9nm的激发下测出了两个峰位分别位于550和660nm的宽发射带。我们认为这两个宽发射带是由Dy^2 离子由5d态向4f基态能级（^5I8）跃迁产生的。讨论了几个有益于在这种基质中还原Dy^3 离子的条件。为了实现Dy^3 离子的还原,我们还在Ar/H2(4%)气氛中制备了Dy2O3掺杂的SrB4O7比较了这种样品和在空气中所制备的样品的光学特性。本文还对标专SrB4O7还原性和稳定性的g－因子由Tm^2 的[E0(Tm^3 /Tm^2 =-2.3V]推导出Dy^2 的[E0(Dy^3 /Dy^2 )=-2.6V],但对这种还原过程的局限性尚未确定。

Optical Anisotropy of Biaxial Magnetic Crystals

The two–dimensional orthogonal representation of electromagnetic waves in crystals is developed. Simple expressions determining the directions of optical axes and dependence of group and phase velocities and polarization vectors on the direction, in the general case, of triclinic crystals of magnetic dielectrics are obtained. A solution of the Maxwell equations in the form of two isonormal harmonic waves is found to be directly related to the exponential, two–dimensional spinor, and three–dimensional tensor representations.

Charge-Stripe Phases Versus a Weak Anisotropy of Nearest-Neighbor Hopping

Recently, we demonstrated rigorously the stability of charge-stripe phases in 2D quantum-particle systems that are described by extended Falicov–Kimball Hamiltonians, with the quantum hopping particles being either spinless fermions or hardcore bosons. In this paper, by means of the same methods, we show that an arbitrary small anisotropy of nearest-neighbor hopping eliminates the π/2-rotation degeneracy of dimeric and axial-stripe phases and orients them in the direction of the weaker hopping. Due to the same anisotropy the obtained phase diagrams of fermions show a tendency to become similar to those of hardcore bosons. PACS numbers: 71.10.Fd, 71.10.−w, 71.27.+a, 67.40.Db     

Laser-Radiation-Induced Optical Anisotropy of Rhodamine Dye Solutions

We have made spectral studies of induced optical anisotropy (its quantitative measure is the difference of refractive indices of the ordinary and extraordinary beams n = n _o – n _e) of Rhodamine 6G and 4C solutions in glycerol upon excitation in the UV region of the absorption spectrum. The observed spectral dependences of n of the above dye solutions excited in the UV (short-wavelength) and visible (long-wavelength) regions of the absorption spectrum are explained from the point of view of the molecular model. The proposed methods for investigating induced optical anisotropy of solutions of organic compounds make it possible to reliably determine the relative orientation of molecular electronic oscillators in the molecule skeleton and, consequently, the mutual orientation of the dipole moments of transitions.
