Crystal field and magnetic properties of Dy(OH)/sub 3/, Ho(OH)/sub 3/ and Er(OH)/sub 3/

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6516280
The electric quadrupole and magnetic hyperfine interactions measured from the /sup 161/Dy Moessbauer resonance in crystalline Dy(OH)/sub 3/ and from the /sup 166/Er resonance in crystalline Ho(OH)/sub 3/ and Er(OH)/sub 3/ are interpreted using the crystal field and molecular exchange field model. The crystal field parameters established from previous optical spectroscopy results account well for these hyperfine parameters. The crystal-field and magnetic properties of these ferromagnetic insulators are described well within the model.
