Host Materials for Transition-Metal Ions with the ndN Electronic Configuration.

Abstract

Data are given on 12 host materials for lasers that use the transition metal ions. Included in each section are the crystallographic data, x-ray data, lattice sum parameters A sub nm, crystal field parameters B sub nm(Dq), and spin-orbit constants (xi). One section contains the phenomenological free ion parameters F (superscript k), (xi) and alpha, which have been obtained by fitting the reported free ion data. There is a bibliography for each host which, dependent on that particular host, is more or less complete. The data contained on each host material as well as on new host materials will be added periodically.
