Rare Earth Ion-Host Lattice Interactions. 6. Lanthanides in LiYF4.
Abstract
Phenomenological even-fold crystal field parameters, B sub km, for S4 site symmetry are determined that yield least rms deviations between calculated and measured energy levels for Nd(3+), Ho(3+), and Er(3+) in LiYF4. Crystal field components, A sub km, are determined by a sum over the LiYF4 lattice, and B sub km are calculated for the lanthanides in this material. These parameters are used with appropriate radial integrals and energy positions of the higher electronic configurations to calculate squared-matrix elements of the electric dipole operator between the Stark split energy states of the ground configurations for the triply ionized lanthanides in LiYF4.
