A relationship for crystal field strength along the lanthanide series; application to the prediction of the (2F7/2)Yb3+ maximum splitting by F. Auzel is a Materials Science article available to read on EtoBox.
What is A relationship for crystal field strength along the lanthanide series; application to the prediction of the (2F7/2)Yb3+ maximum splitting about?
Using the scalar field parameter N v , calculated from the respective B k q parameters given in the literature for 115 different crystals, we show that a simple linear relationship between the number of f electrons and the crystal field strength can be found. From this result we derive the maximum splitting of 2 F 7=2 ground state of Yb 3þ assuming a knowledge of the maximum splitting of the Nd 3þ4 I 9=2 ground state. Because Nd 3þ is less prone than Yb 3þ to mix with vibronics, this approach helps to distinguish the highest Stark level of 2 F 7=2 from vibronics, using the following prediction: The maximum splitting of the 2 F 7=2 Yb 3þ ground state in a given host site cannot be less than the one of Nd 3þ4 I 9=2 in the same crystal host site.
