研究目的
The evaluation of the matrix elements of spin-orbit interaction for the ground level 3H6 of Tm3+ in crystals and the link between the spin-orbit interaction and the crystal field strength of the crystals.
研究成果
The normalized matrix element ratios A(cr)/A(fr) for the ground level 3H6 of Tm3+ ions in crystals are generally lower than the free ion value and vary with the scalar crystal field parameter Nv, resembling the nephelauxetic effect. A distinct relationship exists between Nv and spin-orbit interactions, with maximum splitting ΔE showing a positive linear dependence on Nv, while ζ4f remains nearly constant. The approach supports criteria for systematic changes in crystal field parameters and links to physical quantities, indicating potential for reanalysis of crystal field parameter sets for lanthanide ions.
研究不足
The sets of crystal field parameters and spin-orbit coupling constants vary by the number of fitted energy levels, auxiliary parameters, model frameworks, and root mean square deviations, which may affect consistency. The study relies on published data that may not be on a unified scale, and the microscopic model for deviations in spin-orbit interaction lacks macroscopic confirmation. The hydrated chloride TmCl3.6H2O shows an unusual position, suggesting potential need for reanalysis.
