C. Gorllerwalrand et al., OPTICAL-ABSORPTION SPECTRA, CRYSTAL-FIELD ENERGY-LEVELS AND INTENSITIES OF EU3+ IN GDAL3(BO3)(4), Journal of physics. Condensed matter, 6(38), 1994, pp. 7797-7812
Locations and assignments of crystal-field levels in polarized absorpt
ion spectra (77 and 298 K) are reported for Eu3+ in the GdAl3(BO3)(4)
huntite matrix. The levels are analysed in terms of 20 free-ion and si
x crystal-held parameters (D-3 symmetry). J mixing is taken into accou
nt. The influence of a parameter change on the calculated energy level
s is discussed and it is shown that some parameters affect only partic
ular levels. Spectral intensities of the 4f-4f transitions are given a
nd parametrized using a set of B-lambda kq intensity parameters.
