The low-resolution circular dichroism in (CD) and absorption spectra of doped Nd/sup 3 +/ crystals primarily with a view to verify the expectations regarding low-resolution lanthanide optical activity is presented. In order to compare the CD of the Nd/sup 3 +/ transition, which are commonly considered as electric-dipole allowed, with that of primarily magnetic-dipole-allowed Eu/sup 3 +/ transitions having an identical environment, we have grown and studied a single crystal of K/sub 3/Nd/sub 2/(NO/sub 3/)/sub 9/ with Eu/sup 3 +/ as dopant.
