Title: Charge transfer excitation of trivalent rare earth ions Sm/sup 3+/, Eu/sup 3+/, Gd/sup 3+/, Ho/sup 3+/, Er/sup 3+/ and Yb/sup 3+/ emission in BaFCl crystals

Journal Article · · Mater. Res. Bull.; (United States)

The charge transfer type excitation spectra of trivalent rare earth ions Sm/sup 3+/, Eu/sup 3+/, Gd/sup 3+/, Ho/sup 3+/, Er/sup 3+/ and Yb/sup 3+/ emission in BaFCl crystals have been studied. The charge transfer type emissions of Ho/sup 3+/, Er/sup 3+/ and Yb/sup 3+/ in BaFCl have also been observed in addition to that of Eu/sup 3+/. The energy of charge transfer band of these RE/sup 3+/ ions were estimated experimentally and also calculated by Jorgensen's refined electron spin-pairing energy theory. Both the experimental and calculated values coincide well.
