摘要

The spin-Hamiltonian parameters (g factors g(//), g(⊥) and zero-field splittings b(2)(0), b(4)(0), b(4)(4), b(6)(0), b(6)(4)) of the tetragonal Gd(M)(3+)-F(i)(-) centers in CaF(2) and SrF(2) crystals at T≈1.8K are calculated from the diagonalization (of energy matrix) method based on the one-electron crystal field mechanism. In the calculations, the crystal field parameters used are estimated from the superposition model with the reported defect structural data obtained from the analyses of superhyperfire interaction constants at the same temperature. The calculated results are in reasonable agreement with the experimental values. It appears that the above defect structural data reported in the previous paper are suitable and the diagonalization (of energy matrix) method is effective to the studies of spin-Hamiltonian parameters for 4f(7) ions in crystals.Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
