Abstract: | A dilute aqueous solution of neodymium chloride NdCl3 has been taken through two thermodynamic cycles along transformations with varying pressure (between 1 bar and 3.3 kbar) and temperature (between 300 K and 77 K). The characteristic optical line absorption spectrum which shows a Stark splitting of the Nd3+ electronic levels due to a quasi-crystalline surrounding of the ions appears only in that part of the cycles where pure ice Ih phase would be present. In any other part of the cycles where pure ice phases II, III, IX and IC would be present such a phenomenon does not exist. It is shown that ice Ih may constitute a frame for neodymium aquo-ions. |
