Magnetooptical Spectroscopy of the Rare-Earth Compounds: Development and Application

A comparison of theory with experiment is made for rare-earth compounds with garnet structure and orthoaluminate whose optical, magnetic and magnetooptical features have been studied sufficiently well by now.

Components of the Book:
  • FRONT MATTER
  • Chapter 1 Magnetism of the rare-earth ions in crystals
    • Electronic structure and energy spectra of the “free” rare-earth ions
    • Paramagnetism of the “free” RE ions
    • Energy spectra and wavefunctions of Kramers and non-Kramers RE ions in the paramagnetic garnets and orthoaluminates
    • Influence of the symmetry of the crystal field on the magnetic susceptibility of RE ions in crystals
    • Ising RE ions and behavior of their magnetic features
  • Chapter 2 Optics of the 4f → 4f and 4f → 5d transitions in crystals
    • Optical properties of RE ions in crystals
    • Selection rules for the magnetic-dipole and electric-dipole optical transitions in RE ions in crystals
    • Theory of intensities of “forbidden” RE3+ electric-dipole 4f → 4f transitions in crystalline hosts
    • Modern experimental methods of measuring the 4f → 4f optical spectra of RE compounds: site-selective polarized spectroscopy (SSPS) and “hot-band” spectroscopy
    • Explanation regarding parity-allowed 4f → 5d optical transitions in RE ions within the framework of the “strong-weak” crystalline field approximation
