M. Qiu et Mg. Zhao, OPTICAL FINE-STRUCTURE AND ZERO-FIELD SPLITTING OF CO2+ IONS IN CS2COCL4, Journal of magnetism and magnetic materials, 164(1-2), 1996, pp. 111-114
The exact formulas for the zero-field splitting of the (4)A ground sta
te of d(3,7) ions in the orthorhombic field are derived on the basis o
f the complete diagonalization procedure (CDP). The formulas obtained
are suitable for both the strong octahedral Cr3+ and the weak tetrahed
ral Co2+ complexes. As an illustration, the formulas have been applied
to the specific example of Co2+ ions in Cs2CoCl4. Calculations indica
te that the optical and EPR spectra of Co2+ ions in Cs2CoCl4 can be in
terpreted uniformly.
