| Abstract: | We have recorded part of the UV-visible region of the electronic spectrum of EuOCl at both 292 and 77 K by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Illumination of the sample and collection of the reflected light was accomplished through the use of an all-quartz fiberoptic probe. Several absorption maxima were observed which result from transitions from the 7F0 ground state and 7F1 excited state to the 5D4 5G2,4,6 5L6, and 5D3 excited states of the Eu3+ ion. |
