Abstract
Polarized two-photon excitation (TPE) and emission spectra have been used t o locate, and identify the symmetry of, more than 100 energy levels of terb ium(III) in the elpasolite Cs2NaTbCl6. These are assigned with the aid of a one-electron crystal field Hamiltonian. In many cases the assignments were verified by modelling the Zeeman interaction. Systematic deviations from t he predictions of the one-electron model provide evidence for electron corr elation induced by the crystal field (CCF).
