Abstract
Electronic absorption spectra of neodymium acetate single crystals wer e measured at 293 and 4 K. The intensities of 4f-4f transitions were c alculated and the Judd-Ofelt Omega(lambda) parameters evaluated. These results differ in comparison with other lanthanide carboxylate compou nds by relatively high 'hypersensitive' transition intensity and the O mega(2) parameter value. The vibronic mechanism of the 4f-4f transitio ns is discussed and the role of low-energy phonons is shown. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science S.A.
