A 91×91 complete energy matrix of 4f2configuration ion Pr3+in triagonal crystal fieldC3hhas been constructed based upon the combination of Racahs irreducible tensor with Slaters wavefunctions. Thus, the Stark energy levels of Pr3+in trichlorides LaCl3have been calculated. The calculation result shows that the complete energy matrix method is effective to analyze the energy levels splitting of the doped entity by rare earth ions. We also know that the consideration to the sixth-order crystal field parameters is indispensable and the ionic radius of the replaced ion will play an important role in the energy levels splitting of the doped systems.

AbstractStrontium aluminate (SrAl2O4) and the indium aluminate (SrIn2O4) spinels have been proven to be efficient host materials, which offer the possibility of generating broadband emission after doping with rare earth trivalent ions. The present work is devoted to the calculation of the crystal field parameters and the energy levels of the trivalent europium doped in SrAl2O4 and SrIn2O4 spinels, using the superposition model of the crystal field. Using the intrinsic parameters for Eu3+-O2− bonds, and the geometry structure of the each crystal, we modeled the CFPs and simulated the low-lying energy levels schemes. The obtained results are compared with the experimental data and discussed.

AbstractThe luminescence spectra of europium (3 + ) doped rare earth oxyhydroxides, REOOH :Eu3 + (RE = Y and Lu), were studied and analyzed at 77 and 300 K under UV and dye laser excitation. The observed 7F0_4 level schemes were simulated with the aid of the phenomenological crystal field theory. The descending symmetry method from C2v to Cs symmetry was used in the simulation. Good results were obtained with Cs symmetry simulation which yielded r.m.s. deviations of 6 and 7 cm -1 between the calculated and experimental 7F0_4 level schemes for YOOH:Eu3 + and LUOOH:EU3+, respectively. The C2v simulation was found inadequate to describe the experimental energy level schemes. The even rank crystal field parameters vary only slightly as a function of the host. Comparison with the corresponding values obtained for the monoclinic form of the Eu3 + doped RE oxyhydroxides reveals significant differences.

The absorption spectra of UCl5 single crystal were observed in the region between 0.6 and 2.4 μm at room, 77, and 4.2 K temperatures. Five pure electronic transitions were assigned at 11 665, 9772, 8950, 6643, and 4300 cm−1. The energy levels associated with these transitions were identified as the splittings of the 5f1 ground configuration under the influence of the spin–orbit coupling and a crystal field of C2v symmetry. The number of crystal field parameters was reduced by assuming the point-charge model where the positions of the ions were determined by X-ray crystallography. Then, the crystal field parameters and the spin–orbit coupling constant were calculated to be [Formula: see text],[Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and ξ = 1760 cm−1. The vibronic analysis showed that the 90, 200, and 320 cm−1 modes were similar to the T2u(v6), T1u(v4), and T1u(v3) of an UCl6− octahedron, respectively.

In this paper we report the experimental angular behaviour of the EPR spectra for a single crystal of Thorium disulfide (ThS2) doped with Gd3+ at very low concentration (of the order of 10 p.p.m.). The experimental data are interpreted in terms of a spin Hamiltonian which reflects the crystal field symmetry at the Th site, that is monoclinic Cs, and therefore shows that the doping ions enter substitutionally without lowering the site symmetry. The low symmetry and the unusually large values of the crystal field parameters b20 and b22 have made it necessary to use a numerical fitting procedure, starting from the exact numerical diagonalization of the energy matrix for any given direction of the static magnetic field.
