A. Brenier et C. Madej, BANDWIDTHS OF OCTAHEDRALLY COORDINATED NI2-12 GARNET( IN GD3GA5 O), Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 49(1), 1994, pp. 28-32
The spectroscopic properties of octahedrally coordinated Ni2+ ions in
Gd3Ga5O12 garnet are described with a five-parameter model in the fram
ework of the adiabatic approximation. The effect of spin-orbit couplin
g on the vibronic potentials due to the fully symmetric vibration is p
ointed out. Values of parameters useful for comparison with previous w
orks, such as a pseudo-Huang-Rhys parameter or the ''phonon'' energies
of the levels, are given.
