Ok. Moune et al., OPTICAL-ABSORPTION SPECTRUM, OSCILLATOR-STRENGTHS, MAGNETIC SPLITTINGFACTORS AND PARAMAGNETIC-SUSCEPTIBILITY OF ND3+ DOPED INTO LIYO2, Journal of alloys and compounds, 250(1-2), 1997, pp. 310-315
Optical and magnetic measurements an performed on Nd3+ doped into LiYO
2. 105 energy levels of Nd3+ are assigned from the optical absorption
and excitation spectra for the powdered sample at 20 K. The crystal fi
eld analysis is performed in the C-1 site symmetry of Nd3+. Theoretica
l values of the crystal field parameters, oscillator strengths, magnet
ic susceptibility and ground state splitting factors are calculated an
d compared with experimentally measured quantities.
