With the strong-field scheme and cubic bases,the complete d^3 energy matrix in a tetragonally distorted cubic-field has been constructed.By diagonalizing this matrix,the energy spectra of SrTiO3:Cr^3 and SrTiO3:Mn^4 at normal pressure and various temperatures have been calculated.Correspondingly,the FORTRAN program calculating the g factor of the ground state has been worked out.By using the program and the wavefunction obtained from diagonalizing the complete energy matrix,the g factors of the ground state of SrTiO3:Cr^3 and SrTiO3:Mn^4 at normal pressure and room temperature have been evaluated.The calculated results are in good agreement with the optical-spectral and EPR experimental data.The comparison and analysis of the results of two crystals have been made.It is demonstrated that the covalency of the bonding between Mn^4 and ligands(O^2-) in SrTiO3:Mn^4 is stronger than the one of the bonding between Cr^3 and ligands(O^2-)in SrTiO3:Cr^3 .It is shown that the obtained wavefunctions and values of parameters are reasonable.     

Energy Spectrum and g Factors of α-A12O3:Ni2+ and Their Pressure-Induced Shifts

A unified calculation of the whole energy spectrum and g factors of the ground stateat normal pressure and their pressure-induced shifts for α-A1₂O₃:Ni²⁺ has been carried outon the basis of the theory of pressure-induced shifts and the diagonalization of the completed⁸ energy matrix adopting C_3υ symmetry. The calculated results are in very good agreementwith all the experimental data. The rates of change of all the levels with respect to variousparameters and the contributions to typical levels or splittings from various parameters havebeen calculated. The distinct differences of pressure-induced shifts of various levels are immediatelydetermined by their characteristic dependencies on -the parameters of interactions,and the pressure-induced shifts (especially those of t₂⁶e^{2 1}EÊ) have provided important or,crucial criteria for the correctness of the calculation and assignment of the energy spectrum of α-A1₂O₃:Ni²⁺.

By using the wavefunctions obtained from diagonalizing the complete energy matrix, the g factors of the ground state of YAl₃(BO₃)₄:Cr³⁺ have been evaluated. The calculated results are in good agreement with the optical-spectral and EPR experimental data. It is demonstrated that the bonding between Cr³⁺ and ligands (O^2-) is ionic.     

Pressure—Induced Shifts of Energy Spectra of α—Al2O3：Mn^4＋

By making use of the diagonalization of the complete d^3 energy matriz in a trigonally distorted cubic-field and the theory of pressure-induced shifts (PS) of energy spectra,the whole energy spectrum of α-Al2O3:Mn^4 and PS of levels have been calculated.All the calculated results are in excdellent agreement with the experimental data.The comparison between the results of α-Al2O3:Mn^4 and ruby has been made.It is found that on one hand,R1-line and R2-line PS of α-Al2O3:Mn^4 and ruby are linear in pressure over 0-100 kbar,and their values of the principal parameter for PS are very close to each other.On the other hand,the sensitivities of R1-line and R2-line PS of α-Al2O3:Mn^4 are higher than those of ruby respectively,which comes mainly from the difference between the values of parameters at normal pressure of two crystals;moreover,the expansion of d-electron wavefunctions of α-Al2O3:Mn^4 with compression is slightly larger than the one of ruby,and the effective charge experienced by d-electrons of α-Al2O3:Mn^4 decreases with compression more rapidly than the one of ruby.In the final analysis,all these can be explained in terms of the facts that the two crystals are doped α-Al2O3 with two isoelectronic ions;the strengths of the crystal field and covalency of α-Al2O3:Mn^4 are larger than those of ruby respectively,due to the charge of Mn^4 to be larger than that of Cr^3 .     

Energy Spectra,g Factors and Their Pressure-Induced and/or Thermal Shifts of SrTiO3:Cr3+ and SrTiO3:Mn4+ III: R-Line Thermal Shifts of SrTiO3:Mn4+

By taking into account all the irreducible representations and their components in the electron-phonon interaction (EPI) as well as all the levels and the admixtures of basic wavefunctions within d³ electronic configuration, the values of the parameters in the expressions of thermal shift (TS) from EPI for the ground level, R level and R line of SrTiO₃:Mn⁴⁺ have been evaluated; the R-line TS and various contributions to it have been calculated in the low-temperature region. It is found that all the three terms of R-line TS from EPI relevant to the lattice vibration are red shifts. The Raman term is the largest, the neighbor-level term is the second, and the optical-branch term is very small over the range of T≤80 K. The contribution to R-line TS from thermal expansion has been approximately neglected in this work. The very strong EPI relevant to its lattice vibration for SrTiO₃:Mn⁴⁺ causes its R-line TS to be an unusually large red-shift. Only by taking into account the strong softening of the low-frequency acoustic modes of the lattice vibration at low temperatures, can we successfully explain the variation of R-line TS of SrTiO₃$:Mn⁴⁺ with temperature.

Energy Spectrum and Its Pressure-Induced Shift and g Factor of ZnS:Mn2+

By using strong-field scheme, the complete d⁵ energy matrix with D_2d symmetry has been constructed. Then, by diagonalization of this matrix at normal and various pressures,the whole energy spectrum [including the ground-state zero-field-splitting (GSZFS)], its PS and the g factor of the ground state for zns:Mn²⁺ have uniformly been calculated. According to the eigenfunctions and PS, the new assignments of five absorption bands have been given.The variation of tetragonal field with pressure makes a main contribution to the pressureinduced shift (PS) of GSZFS of zns:Mn²⁺, which supports the existence of tetragonal Jahn-Teller distortion in zns:Mn²⁺. It is found that when P≥62 kbar, t₂⁴(³T₁)e⁴T₁ merges with t₂e^{4 2}T₂, which has to be taken into account in the calculation of PS of the fifth band in the range of 1 bar ~ 95 kbar. It is demonstrated that the Mn²⁺ ions in ZnS:Mn²⁺ have tetrahedral coordination, and the difference between ζ and ζ' caused by the covalency effect is very important for GSZFS. The physical essentials of typical levels, GSZFS and their PS have been revealed. By taking into account the influence of covalency on t₂³(⁴A₂)e²(³A₂)⁴A₁ and t₂³(²E)e²(³A₂)⁴E, the positon of the third absorption band at normal pressure has been estimated.

Pressure Effects on Spectra of Tunable Laser Crystal GSGG:Cr3+Ⅱ:Energy Spectra at Normal Pressure, Low and Room Temperatures

With the strong-field scheme and trigonal bases, the complete d3 energy matrix in a trigonally distorted cubic-field has been constructed. By diagonalizing this matrix, the normal-pressure energy spectra and wavefunctions of GSGG:Cr3+ at 70 K and 300 K have been calculated without the electron-phonon interaction (EPI), respectively. Further, the contributions to energy spectra from EPI at two temperatures have also been calculated, where temperatureindependent terms of EPI are found to be dominant. The sum of aforementioned two parts gives rise to the total energy spectrum. The calculated results are in good agreement with all the optical-spectral experimental data and the experimental results of g||(R1) and g⊥(R1). It is found that the contribution from EPI to R1 line of GSGG:Cr3+ with taking into account spin-orbit interaction (Hso) and trigonal field (Vtrig) is much larger than the one with neglecting Hso and Vtrig, and accordingly it is essential for the calculation of the EPI effect to take first into account Hso and Vtrig. The admixture of base-wavefunctions, |t32 2E) and |t22(3T1)e4T2 ), the average energy separation △＝ E[t22 (3T1)e4T2]-E[t32 2E] and their variations with temperature have been calculated and discussed.

The absorption spectra characters of the (Cr,Yb):YAG,Cr:YAG and Yb:YAG crystals are reported. In the absorption spectra of the (Cr,Yb): YAG crystal,there are two absorption bands at 937 nm and 968 nm respectively,which are suitable for InGaAs diode laser pumping;and there is an absorption band of Cr4+ near 1030 nm,which is suitable for passive Q switch laser output at 1.03 μm. This Cr-Yb-codoped crystal may be a potential material for compact,diode laser pumped passive Q-switched solid-state laser with efficient,high-stable.     

Energy Spectrum of YAG:Cr3+ and Thermal Shifts of Its R Lines

Traditional ligand-field theory has to be improved by taking into account both “pure electronic“ contribution and electron-phonon interaction one (including lattice-vibrational relaxation energy). By means of improved ligand-field theory, R1, R2, R‘3, R′2, and Ri lines, U band, ground-state zero-field-splitting (GSZFS) and ground-state g factors as well as thermal shifts of R1 line and R2 line of YAG:Cr3 have been calculated. The results are in very good agreement with the experimental data. In contrast with ruby, the octahedron of ligand oxygen ions surrounding the central Cr3 ion in YAG:Cr3 is compressed along the [111] direction. Thus, for YAG:Cr3 and ruby, the splitting of t23 4A2 (or t23 2E) has opposite order, and the trigonal-field parameters of the two crystals have opposite signs. In thermal shifts of R1 and R2 lines of YAG:Cr3 , the temperature-dependent contributions due to EPI are dominant.
