FOREWORD

The spectroscopic investigations of lanthanide doped LaF3 crystals

and their theoretical interpretation reported here are the result of an

extensive joint effort of the Argonne National Laboratory and The Johns

Hopkins University over the last decade. It had its roots in similar

studies at both laboratories of other crystal hosts, particularly LaCl 3,

for which a summary is also given in an appendix to this report. This

work was supported at Argonne by the United States Atomic Energy

Commission and the United States Energy Research and Development

Administration, and at Hopkins by the United States Army Research Office

and the National Science Foundation. An identical report is being

issued under separate cover by each institution.

I. Introduction

The low-temperature absorption spectra of trivalent lanthanide compounds

reveal the sharp-line structure characteristic of transitions between states

within the 4fN-configuration, induced by the ionic environment. These transi-

tions can be directly represented as upper-state energy levels. In some cases,

notably ions in LaCl3 host crystals, the empirical levels have been interpreted

in terms of a model which exhibits in detail the structure of the 4fN elec-

tronic configuration itself. The atomic parameters derived from these studies

vary slowly and systematically across the lanthanide series and in fact are

depressed from corresponding values derived from atomic and ionic vapor

spectra.

G. H. Dieke has given a definitive review of the spectra of lanthanides

in crystals including a comprehensive summary of the data in LaCl3 host crys-

tals, Dieke (1968). The early interpretive papers concentrated on analysis of

the crystal-field parameters. More recently, the emphasis has been on devel-

oping models which include structural details of the 4fN configurations them-

selves with simultaneous diagonalization of the complete Hamiltonian rather

than a perturbation-theory treatment. The most recent analyses have been

given in a series of papers, Crosswhite et al. (1976), Carnall et al. (1976),

Crosswhite et al. (1977). These include effective two-body and three-body

operators approximating the electrostatic effects of configuration-mixing

interactions, plus two-body double-vector effective operators which allow for

the variation of spin-orbit interactions with spectroscopic term and for the

spin-other-orbit corrections for relativistic effects. The present analysis

of spectroscopic data for the lanthanides in single-crystal LaF3 employs the

most recent model.

As a crystal matrix in which to study the absorption spectra of lantha-

nide ions, LaF3 has several advantageous features. In addition to being a

transparent host over a wide region of the spectrum, it is chemically inert

so that the crystals can be handled in air. Thus even though the site sym-

metry of the metal ion is low, the commercial availability of the crystals in

a wide range of dopings has encouraged extensive experimental studies.

We report here two types of correlation with experimental results. For

even-f-electron systems we have computed a center of gravity based on the en-

ergies of the observed states, and calculated optimized sets of atomic energy

level parameters. For odd-electron systems we have performed complete crystal-

field calculations in which the parameters of both the atomic and crystal-

field parts of the interaction have been adjusted to experimental data. Trends

in the free-ion parameters over the series have been examined and in some cases

further restrictions on their values are set, based on observed parametric reg-

ularities across the periodic series. The crystal field parameters for the

odd-f-electron ions have also been compared and regularities over the series

are noted. The end result of this effort is a set of eigenvectors for all of

the ionic states in each configuration. We then turn to the interpretation of

intensities of absorption bands and develop the basis for computing transition

probabilities using a semi-empirical theory of induced electric dipole transi-

tions. Finally, we apply the results of the analysis of absorption spectra at

room temperature to the related process of excited state relaxation, and pro-

vide the basis for computing the radiative lifetime for any given state in any

member of the series.

Spectroscopic results for all lanthanides doped into LaF3 (Ln 3+:LaF 3)

except Pm3+ and Eu3+ are reported. Since the crystals were obtained from

commercial sources, the fact that the only isotope of Pm available in macro

amounts is 147Pm which is S--unstable with a relatively short half-life, ex-

cluded it from consideration. The tendency of EuF3 to reduce to EuF2 at high

temperatures even in the presence of F2 vapors, and the very strong broad band

structure associated with Eu2+ in the visible and ultraviolet range due to

4f7 + 4f65d transitions, made it impossible to obtain the requisite experi-

mental data for the Eu-system. The energy level schemes for Pm3+:LaF3 and

Eu3+:LaF3 were therefore calculated using parameters obtained by interpolation.

Some of the experimental results utilized in the analyses represent as

yet unpublished work done over a period of years in the Chemistry Division of

Argonne National Laboratory with the help of senior thesis students and guest

scientists. These results were obtained using several different instruments.

Spectra in the range 4000-15000 cm 1 were recorded using a Cary Model 14R

(crystal-grating- 0.5 meter) recording spectrophotometer. In the region

15000-50000 cm-1, both a 1-meter Hilger-Engis Model 1000 spectrograph equipped

with an EMI 9558 Q photomultiplier, and the Argonne 30' Paschen-Runge spectro-

graph (in second order) were used. Observations were made at %298, 77, and

4 K. Crystals of LaF3 doped with selected lanthanides in various concentra-

tions were obtained from Optovac Inc., North Brookfield, Mass. 01535.

There continues to be a wide interest in lanthanide-doped crystals and

glasses as laser materials. In some cases quantitative intensity calculations

have been carried out and related to the fluorescing properties in a given

host. The most extensive calculations have been limited to the f2(f12) and

f3(f11) members of the series since the matrix elements of the tensor opera-

tors connecting the states of interest required in the intensity analysis for

more complex systems have not been published. We report here a consistent set

of the matrix elements for all 4fN-configurations based on the systematic atomic

parameters generated in this work.

II. Physical and Crystallographic Properties of LaF3

There have been conflicting reports suggesting both C2V, Oftedal (1929,

1931) and D3h, Schlyter (1953), site symmetries of the La3+ ions in LaF3 '

More recent studies, Mansmann (1964, 1965), Zalkin et al. (1966), Lowndes

et al. (1969), indicate that the nine nearest-neighbor F~ ions present a suf-

ficiently distorted environment so that the symmetry is Dd (Pcl) with a C2

site symmetry, Fig. 1. A recent powder neutron-diffraction study of LaF3 and

CeF3, Cheetham et al. (1976), provided additional confirmation of the latter

structure. Isostructural members of the series are LaF3, CeF3, PrF3, and

NdF3; SmF3 and the heavier trifluorides are dimorphic. They also crystallize0

in the orthorhombic YF 3 lattice where each Y3+ has 8-F at 2.3 A and one at

2.6 A, Zalkin and Templeton (1953).

The crystallographic evidence for a low site symmetry in LaF3 is con-

sistent with the results of an early spectroscopic study of PrF3 in which

Sayre and Freed (1955) pointed out that the number of lines observed at low

temperature for electronic transitions associated with several excited states

excluded a site symmetry higher than C2 V. The Raman spectrum of LaF3 has been

interpreted in terms of a C2 site symmetry of the La3+, but these results also

emphasize that the deviation of the symmetry from more symmetric models is

very small indeed, Bauman and Porto (1967). Spectroscopic evidence for hidden

selection rules in the polarized spectrum of Nd3+:LaF3 is also suggestive of

an approach to a symmetry higher than C2, Wong et al. (1963b), Kumar et al.

(1976).

A recent investigation of the normal and vacuum ultraviolet absorption

bands of trivalent lanthanides doped into LaF3 has provided evidence that LaF30

is transparent down to the normal ultraviolet limit of '2000 A, Heaps et al.

(1976).

III. Treatment of Experimental Data

In recent years there have been numerous reports of the spectroscopic

properties of different lanthanides in host LaF 3 , and many of these investiga-

tions have included low-temperature spectra. Consequently, the energies of

the crystal-field components associated with many of the free-ion states have

been recorded. The extensive data available led us to begin a systematic

theoretical analysis of the 4fN energy level structures over the series.

Part of the motivation to undertake a systematic analysis of the data

stumned from the results described in two papers by Onopko (1968a,b) in which

he pointed out that the energies of crystal-field components of several of the

lowest-lying free-ion states in Nd3+:LaF 3 and Er3+:LaF3 could be computed in

reasonably good agreement with experiment by assuming that the site symetry

approaches D3h. The approximation also appeared to be justified in treating

the crystal-field levels in Gd3+:LaF3, Schwiesw and Crosswhite (1969). We

had already developed computer programs that allow a complete diagonalization

of the atomic and crystal-field Hamiltonian for the 4f3(4f 11) case in 03h

symmetry. We had also determined the atomic parameters for both Nd3+:NdF3

and Er3+:LaF3. We therefore extended the analysis using Onopko's crystal-

field parameters. The initial results confirmed the validity of Onopko's

analysis by providing a coputed set of crystal-field levels that were in

reasonably good agreement with experiment throughout the spectral range to

'000 of l'

The analysis was extended by assigning the experimentally observed en-

ergy to those crystal-field states identified by the initial computation.

This permitted a least-squares adjustment of the original crystal-field param-

eters. Additional assignments were made based entirely on the correlation

-9-

between the optimized crystal-field parameter calculations and observed levels.

We then proceeded to perform a similar crystal-field calculation for other lan-

thanides using the optimized values for Nd3+ and Er3+ as the basis for beginning

the analysis.

For odd-electron systems the crystal field will split a level into J +

1/2 separate components in all site symetries except cubic and octahedral.

The number of possible components therefore is the same for C2 and D3h, and

because D3h appears to be a good approximation to the actual one, it is not

difficult to correlate the experimental and computed levels.

On the contrary, in even-electron systems such as Pr3+(4f 2 ), crystal-

field calculations based on D3h symetry do not remove the degeneracy of the

M :1, 2 states. It has been pointed out that the naber of lines observed

in the spectrum of Pr3+:LaF3 implies a low site syimetry consistent with the

complete removal of symmetry-related degeneracy in the indicated levels. Sayre

and Freed (1955), Carnall et al. (1969). This leads to ambiguities in making

the necessary crystal-field correlations. We have therefore attempted complete

crystal-field analyses only for odd-electron systems. For the even-electron

cases we have made the approximation of fitting the centers of the crystal

groups to the free-ion Hamiltonian only.

The basic theory used to interpret the structure observed experimentally

in lanthanide crystal spectra has been considerably refined in recent years.

A semi-emirical approach has been employed in which the attempt is made to

identify those effective interactions operating within the fN-configuration

that reproduce the observed structure. Judd (1963). ybourne (1965). Judd et

al. (1968). Crosswhite et al. (1968). Based on this method of interpretation,

the total Hamiltonian of the system can be written:

E -=EF + ECF

where EF is the atomic part of the interaction:

EF Fk(nf,nf)fk +C4fA0 + aL(L+1) + SG(G2) + yF(R7)k=0,2,4,6

+ T t + Mmk + Pkpki=2,3,4,6,7,8 k0,2,4 kk2,4,6

The Fk, 4g, a, B, y, Ti, Mk and Pk are parameters and their associated terms

are the corresponding operators. ECF represents the crystal-field interaction.

Following Onopko (1968a,b) we assumed that the symetry of the lanthanide site

in LaF3 was approximately hexagonal (D3h), that is, that the hexagonal terms

in the crystal-field expansion are dominant.

ECF 9kC( k) = 82C(2)4 C(4)+ 66) + [C(6) + C(6)ECF(. qq. 50C0 0 0 0B C 6 : C6 6C~

The above interactions which constitute the model used in this investigation

are discussed in detail in Appendix I with reference to the similar treatment

of the more extensive data for Ln3+:LaC13.

For odd-f-electron systems the total Hamiltonian can be separated into

three submatrices and all three of them diagonalized simultaneously. The

methods of truncating the very large matrices that occur for ions in the mid-

dle of the series have been discussed previously, Carnall et al. (1976). The

results of the diagonalizations--which eventually included variation of most

of the parameters in the systems, are given in Appendix II.

Onopko (1968a,b) quoted his original results in the Stevens operator

(6kq) normalization and subsequently extended the analysis to Er3+:LaF3,

It has been demonstrated that ab initio calculations of crystal-field

parameters based on an ionic model are not able to reproduce the values ob-

tained semi-empirically. However, serious efforts are being made to develop

suitable models for the LaF3 crystal, Newman and Curtis (1969), Stedman and

Newman (1971), and attempts have also been made to treat the low-synunetry LaF3

lattice case by actually using the appropriate number of terms in the poten-

tial, Matthies and Welsch (1975).

The experimental results of the present efforts should provide a useful

testing ground for further theoretical treatments. Systematic trends in the

values of the crystal field parameters for Ln3+:LaF3 are compared with those

for Ln3+:LaCl 3 which are much better established experimentally, in Fig. 2.

IV. Energy Level Correlations - Survey of Experimental Data

1. 4f2 (f12 )

The energy level structure in Pr3+:LaF3 has been examined experimentally

in moderate to high resolution by several groups. Wong et al. (1963a), Yen

et al. (1964), Caspers et al. (1965a), Carnall et al. (1969). Free-ion level

energies are recorded in Appendix III together with the corresponding computed

levels using parameters given in Appendix II. The weak point in the theoret-

ical analysis is the assumption of a center of gravity for the 1I6 and for the

3P1 transitions.

Most of the possible crystal-field components in the spectrum of Tm3+:LaF3

have been observed, Carnall et al. (1970), and the centers of gravity of these

groups are compared to the calculated free-ion levels in Appendix XIII.

There are extensive published reports, Wong et al. (1963b), Caspers et

al. (1965b), of the structure observed in the low-temperature absorption and

fluorescence spectra of Nd3+:LaF3. These data have been extended by previously

unpublished work at ANL to provide as complete a set of crystal-field compo-

nents as possible. Of the 182 levels in the f3 configurations, 139 have been

assigned. The results are included in Appendix IV, and can be compared to

those obtained in the recent extensive investigation of the spectrum of

Nd3+:LaCl3, Crosswhite et al. (1976). Kumar et al. (1976) have examined the

absorption and fluorescence spectra of Nd3+:LaF3 at 77 K, the latter excited

using the 3371 A line of a N2-laser. They reported several transitions not

observed in previous investigations. Some of these are consistent with band

energies observed in the present study but there are discrepancies. In gen-

eral, there is a small shift in energy between observations at 77 K and those

reported here which refer to 4 K. The assignments made to the fluorescence

spectrum serve to further establish the energies of the lower-lying states

which had been reported earlier. The components of the 4I15/2 state reported

by Voron'ko et al. (1973) from observations made at 77 K are in good agreement

with the unpublished results recorded in Table 1, Appendix IV.

The present theory of intensities of f + f transitions treats the compos-

ite free-ion states rather than transitions between individual crystal-field

components (see Section V). A number of investigators are presently concerned

with extending the theory to the crystal-field case. In order to provide a

basis for testing the results of such calculations we include in Figs. 3-22,

Appendix IV, a set of absorption spectra of Nd3+:LaF3 taken at t4 K covering

most of the levels observed in the f3-configuration. No attempt was made to

preserve a constant resolution since two different instruments were used, and

several different crystals of varying concentrations and path lengths were em-

ployed. However, in any one group, the relative intensities of the components

are clearly evident.

The absorption and fluorescence spectra of Er3+:LaF3 measured at 77 K and

including levels up to %39500 cm- were reported by Krupke and Gruber (1963,

1964, 1965). Several higher-energy transitions were also tentatively identi-

fied. A subsequent investigation, Carnall et al. (1972), included measurements

at "4 K in the range 6000-50000 cm-1 . Additional spectroscopic measurements at

low temperature have been made, so that the levels recorded in Appendix XII

represent a composite and in a number of cases a reevaluation of results ap-

pearing in the literature. In addition to a discrepancy in the calibration

standards applied to a number of groups originally reported by Carnall et al.

(1972), the comparison of experimental energies with those computed based on

the crystal-field interpretation used here suggested u possible vibronic origin

for some of the states previously identified as crystal-field components.

3. 4f4(f10 )

The absorption spectrum of Pm3+:LaF 3 has not been reported, but an exten-

sive investigation of the absorption and fluorescence spectra of Pm3+:LaCl 3 has

been published, Carnall et al. (1976). We have therefore used the regularities

ii the energy level parameters for Ln3+:LaF3 as the basis for interpolation and

assignment of approximate parameters for Pm3+:LaF3. The :orresponding computed

free-ion levels are given in Appendix V. The chemical shifts observed on com-

paring free-ion levels in Nd3+:LaF3 and Nd3+:LaCl3 are similar to those found

in comparing the computed results for Pm3+:LaF3 with the experimental states of

Pm3 +: LaCl3.

An extensive investigation of the absorption and fluorescence spectra of

Ho3+:LaF 3 has been reported by Caspers et al. (1970). Additional experiments

have been conducted at ANL, but only minor additions or modifications of the

published data were indicated. In many cases, the number of observed components

of free-ion groups is less than allowed theoretically based on C2 site symmetry,

but the centers of gravity of these levels appear to provide the basis for cal-

culation of a consistent set of energy level parameters, as recorded in Appen-

dix XI.

4. 4f5 (f9 )

The observation and analysis of the absorption and fluorescence spectra

of Sm3+:LaF3 in the range 0-11000 cm 1 was reported by Rast et al. (1967), and

the line list was extended to "32000 cm 1 in a tabulation given in Dieke (1968).

The number of observed lines was further extended in the present investigation,

and a composite tabulation based primarily on recent work at ANL is given in

Appendix VI.

Absorption and fluorescence spectra of Dy3+:LaF 3 including levels up to

'32000 cm-1 have been reported in the literature by Fry et al. (1968). A num-

ber of new levels including groups at higher energies were recorded in the

course of the present investigation. The results are presented in Appendix X.

5. 4f6(f8

Crystals of LaF3 doped with EuF3 are found to contain some Eu2+ which

makes it difficult to observe the Eu3+ transitions in absorption in the near-

ultraviolet. Weber (1967a) observed fluorescence in Eu3+:LaF3 from the excited

states 5D0, 5D1, 5D2, and 5D3 using pulsed selective excitation. The energy

level scheme for the low-lying 5D and 7F states that can be deduced from these

measurements shows the expected red shift with respect to the corresponding

levels observed in Eu3+:LaCl3, Dieke (1968), and is consistent with the results

given in Appendix VII. The latter were computed based on energy level param-

eters deduced from systematic trends over the series.

The energy levels of Tb3+ in single-crystal TbF3 have been studied in

absorption and fluorescence by Krupka and Guggenheim (1960). From this data

the centers of gravity of the 5D4 and the ground term 7F multiplet components

could be determined. The results are in agreement with the moderately exten-

sive study of the low-temperature absorption spectrum of Tb3+:LaF3 which was

part of the present investigation. The free-ion levels of Tb3+:LaF3 are given

in Appendix IX.

6. 4f7

The energy levels of the 6P and 6I groups in Gd3+:LaF3 were reported by

Schwiesow and Crosswhite (1969) who also performed a crystal-field analysis

assuming an approximate hexagonal site symmetry. The experimental results were

subsequently extended to include the 6D states in the 40000-50,000 cm-l range,

V. Theoretical Interpretation of Excited State Relaxation

A. Theoretical Treatment of Absorption Spectra

1. General Concepts

The quantitative treatment of the intensities of trivalent lanthanide ab-

sorption bands relates an experimentally determined quantity, a normalized band

envelope, PEXPT' to a theoretical model based on the mechanisms by which radia-

tion can be absorbed. The terms oscillator strength or transition probability

are applied interchangeably to the symbol P. There is some magnetic dipole

character in a few transitions (PM.D.), but an induced electric-dipole mecha-

nism (PE.D.) must be invoked to account for the intensities of most lanthanide

absorption bands. The term induced or forced electric dipole is used to empha-

size that true electric dipole transitions require the initial and final states

to be of different parity, whereas no parity change is involved in transitions

within a configuration. In contrast, magnetic dipole transitions within a con-

figuration are (parity) allowed. The weak intra-fN transitions are accounted

for by assuming that a small amount of the character of higher-lying opposite-

parity configurations is mixed into the fN states via the odd terms in the

potential due to the ligand field, Wybourne (1965). We neglect higher multi-

pole mechanisms, (electric quadrupole, etc.), and write:

EXPT E.D. + PM.D.

In expressing PE.D. in terms of a theoretical model, Judd (1962) and Ofelt

(1962) summed over the intensities of the individual crystal-field components

of a given state. As a consequence, the model applies to spectra observed at

room temperature or above since it is assumed that all of the crystal-field

-20-

components of the ground state are equally populated. Some attempts have been

made to avoid this sumation and thus treat the intensities of transitions be-

tween the lowest crystal-field level of the ground state and excited crystal-

field states, Axe (1963). However, the intensity calculations reported in the

present sumary deal only with composite levels. Thus the appropriate expres-

sion for PEXPT' which represents the number of classical oscillators in one ion,

more commonly referred to as the probability for absorption of radiant energy,

Hoogschagen (1946), is:

PEXPT 2303m fc1(o)da = 4.32 x 10- Ic1(o)daN-e

where ci is the molar absorptivity of a band at the energy o1 (cm i), and the

other symbols have their usual meaning. P is here a dimensionless quantity.

The molar absorptivity at a given energy is computed from the Beer-Lambert law:

c = ' log Is/I (1)

where c is the concentration of the lanthanide ion in moles/1000 cm3, t is the

light path in the crystal (cm), and log I,/I is the absorptivity or optical

density. The expression for PEXPT is identical to that for f defined by Krupke

(1966) in his treatment of lanthanide spectra in LaF3.

In view of our interest in both absorption and fluorescence processes,

there is an advantage in pointing out the basic role of the Einstein coefficient

in expressing the transition probability due to dipole radiation:

A64w a 32A(if) - 1|i|D0f>| (2)

where I and f signify the initial and final states, A is the (spontaneous)

transition probability per unit time, o(cm 1) is the energy difference between

Page 28: ARGONNE NATIONAL - UNT Digital Library/67531/metadc303844/m2/1/high_re… · Energy Level Structure and Transition Probabilities in the Spectra of the Trivalent Lanthanides in LaF3

-21-

the states, and D is the dipole operator, Condon and Shortley (1957).

In addressing the problem of the absorption of energy, Broer et al. (1945)

expressed eq. (2) in terns of oscillator strength using the relationship P

Amc/8w2a2e2. The factor 2J + 1 was added since the matrix elements of 0 are

sunned over all components of the initial state I. A refractive index correc-

tion X was also included giving:

P 8w 2mca (XF + n (3)3he (2J+1)

where F2 and R2 represent the matrix elements of the electric dipole and mag-

netic dipole operators, respectively, joining an initial state J to the final

state J', X , and n is the refractive index of the medium.

2. Induced Electric-Dipole Transitions

Judd (1962) and Ofelt (1962) independently derived expressions for the

oscillator strength of induced electric dipole transitions within the fN con-

figuration. Since their results are similar, and were published simultaneously,

the basic. theory has become known as the Judd-Ofel t theory. However, Judd's

expression, eq. (4), was cast in a form that could be directly related to oscil-

lator strengths derived from lanthanide absorption spectra taken at 25C or

above:

P E.O. T 7,61Tv(ial||U ||$'J')2 (4)

where v(sec 1 ) is the ean frequency of the transition J * *'J', ( is a

unit tensor operator of rank A, the sue running over the three values A " 2,4,6,

and the TA are three parameters which can be evaluated from experimental data.

These parameters involve the radial parts of the 4N wave functions, the wave

functions of perturbing configurations such as 4fN-l5d, and the interaction

-22-

between the central ion and the immediate environment.

Typically, several excited states are encompassed by a single complex

absorption envelope, and the matrix elements of U are sunned over these

states. The energy in this case becomes that of the center of gravity of

the envelope. Those investigators who have studied lanthanide intensities

in crystals have followed an alternate parametrization, Axe (1963), Krupke

(1966), which has clear advantages in describing both the absorption and

fluorescence processes in terms of a single set of adjustable parameters.

The expression for TA given by Judd in eq. (4) was:

Tx Nw2 n2+n21(2A+1) (2t+1)Bt 2(t,A) (5)9n t

Substituting v * co and eq. (5) into eq. (4) gives

PE.D. ,w2m ny ,,U(A)IJ)2 (6)

where " *(2a+l)I(2t+1)Bt 2(t,A), Axe (1963), and in terms of T, eq. (3),t

S2as, ,6,2

The matrix elements of eq. (6) are calculated in the SL basis using the

relation:

(fNaSLJ|| U(A) I f~a'S'L'J' ) s o(SS' )(-1) S+L'+J+X ((2J+1)(2J'+1)l1/2

(AS I(fNSL|U A'SL') (8)

Selection rules imposed by the nature of the mechanism assumed are discussed

by Ofelt (1962). The reduced matrix elements on the right side of eq. (8)

have been tabulated by Nielson and Koster (1963). The matrix elements as

Page 30: ARGONNE NATIONAL - UNT Digital Library/67531/metadc303844/m2/1/high_re… · Energy Level Structure and Transition Probabilities in the Spectra of the Trivalent Lanthanides in LaF3

-23-

computed must be transformed from the SL basis to intermediate coupling before

being squared and substituted into eq. (6).

The intermediate-coupling eigenvectors, IfNl$J>, are expressed in terms of

SL basis states, |fNSLJ>, by:

IfN yJ> " c(a,S,L)IfNaSLJ>

where c(a,S,L) are the numerical coefficients resulting from the simultaneous

diagonalization of the atomic parts of the Hamiltonian. The matrix elements

of U , eq. (8), have been calculated for transitions between various excited

states as well as between the ground and excited states of the whole series of

lanthanide ions using the energy level parameters given in Appendix II. The

rest s are tabulated in Appendices III-XII.

3. Magnetic Dipole Transitions

Following the results of Condon and Shortly (1957), the magnetic dipole

operator is given as 14 * -e/2mc (Li+2Si). The matrix elements of the opera-

tor i in eq. (3) can then be written,

H2 * e2/4m2c2(4JIIL+2SIIq'J')2 (9)

The non-zero matrix elements will be those diagonal in the quantum numbers a,

S, and L. The selection rule on J, ftJ 0,tl, restricts consideration to

three cases:

1) J'"J (aSLJIIL+2SIIaSLJ') * gt(J(J+1)(2J+1) 11/ 2 (10)

(aSLJIIL+2SIIaSLJ+1) =[(-S+L+J+2)(S+J+1-L)(L+J+1-S) (S+L-J) 1/2 (12)4(J+1)

The matrix elements calculated in eqs. (10)-(12) must be transformed into

the intermediate coupling scheme before computation of the magnetic dipole con-

tribution represented by eq. (9).

Values of the quantity P' > 0.015 x 10-8 where PM.D. P'n and n is the

refractive index of the medium, have been tabulated for transitions of the tri-

valent lanthanide ions between the ground states and all excited free-ion

states, Carnall et al. (1968a).

4. Comparison of Calculated and Observed Transition Probabilities

A number of authors have determined the n intensity parameters from a

least squares fitting procedure using band envelopes for Ln 3+:LaF 3 observed at

'25 C and available sets of the matrix elements of U Krupke (1966) was the

first to show that transition probabilities in good agreement with experiment

could be computed for Pr3+:LaF3 and Nd3+:LaF3. A summary of parameter values,

n,, for Ln3+:LaF3 is presented in Table 1, Appendix XIV. The parameters for

Sm3+:LaF 3, Dy3+:LaF3 , and Tm3+:LaF3 were checked against results obtained in

the present investigation, and those for Dy3+ and Tm3+ were modified from the

values originally reported. While the values of the matrix elements of U()2

given in Appendices III-XIII differ slightly from those in the literature, these

differences are not sufficient to affect the reported values of S.

B. Relaxation of Excited States

1. General Considerations

A great deal of progress has been made in analyzing the mechanisms of

excited state relaxation of lanthanides in crystal hosts. Two modes of

Page 32: ARGONNE NATIONAL - UNT Digital Library/67531/metadc303844/m2/1/high_re… · Energy Level Structure and Transition Probabilities in the Spectra of the Trivalent Lanthanides in LaF3

relaxation can be recognized: radiative and non-radiative processes. Axe (1963)

addressed the problem of expressing the radiative process in quantitative terms

using the Juei-Ofelt theory. Non-radiative relaxation was already being formu-

lated in terms of multiphonon processes in the early 1960's. Barasch and Dieke

(1965), Riseberg and Moos (1967,1968). Such processes become less probable as

the energy gap between an excited state and the next lower energy state increases.

2. Radiative Relaxation

In treating the fluorescence process, the Einstein coefficient, eq. (2)

is used directly to express the rate of relaxation of an excited state (pJ) to a

particular final state (,'J'). Following Axe (1963), the counterpart of eq. (3)

becomes

A(J,$'J') = )644 a3 [x' F2 + n3 2] (13)

where a(cm~l) represents the energy gap between states (pJ) and ('J'), X' =

n n2+2i2, and n is the refractive index of the medium. As in the absorption

process, there is an implicit assumption that all crystal-field components of

the initial state are equally populated. In principal, if fluorescence can be

detected, the lifetime of the state is long compared to the rate at which it is

populated in the excitation process, so thermal equilibrium at the temperature

of the system can be achieved prior to emission.

The matrix elements of the electric and magnetic dipole operators, F

and M2, are identical to those in eq. (7) and eq. (9), respectively. However,

the form of the refractive index correction in eq. (13) is not the same as for

the absorption process, eq. (3). Equation (13) can be evaluated using param-

eters % established from measurement of the absorption spectrum of the lan-

thanide ion in a crystal lattice identical to that studied in fluorescence.

-26-

Since excited state relaxation generally involves transitions to several

lower-lying- states, we define a total radiative relaxation rate, AT(1J)

AT(tJ) = E A(pJ,p'J') (14)

where the sum runs over all states lower in energy than the fluorescing state.

It is useful to define in addition the radiative branching ratio, BR'

from the relaxing state (pJ) to a particular final state (i'J')

8R(PJ,' J') = (15)

and the radiative lifetime of a state

TR(1JJ) = [AT('PJ)]1 (16)

The principal fluorescing states of the lanthanides in crystal hosts are

indicated in Fig. 3. However, fluorescence from many of these levels is only

observed at low temperatures since rapid relaxation of an excited state by non-

radiative processes competes strongly with the radiative mode unless the energy

gap to the next lower level is large, as discussed in the next section.

Since the parameters S have been determined for a number of the lantha-nides in LaF3 host, Table 1, Appendix XIV, we can compute the radiative life-

time of any excited state using eqs. 13, 14 and 16. For those states with

large energy gaps to the next lower level, the observed and computed radiative

lifetimes would be expected to be in approximate agreement. Weber (1967b) has

pointed out that such agreement is observed for excited states in Er3+:LaF3

where the energy gaps are in excess of 3000 cm1:

3. Non-radiative Relaxation

Following tie excitation of a lanthanide ion in a crystal lattice, the

relaxation of excited states may occur by a purely radiative process, or more

generally, may occur by the transfer of some energy to lattice vibrations. It

was known experimentally for a number of years before any quantitative theory

of non-radiative processes was developed that fluorescence was not observed at

25*C from Ln3+:LaCl 3 if the energy gap between the excited state and that next

lower in energy was < 1000 cm~1, Barasch and Dieke (1965). In a systematic

investigation of multiphonon orbit-lattice relaxation of lanthanide excited

states, Riseberg and Moos (1968) have given an explicit expression for the

temperature dependent transition rate in LaF3, LaCl3 and LaBr3. The energy-gap

dependence of the multiphonon process is treated phenomenologically by assuming

that the appropriate phonon energy is that corresponding to the cut-off in the

phonon states. For LaF3 this is 350 cml, while for LaCl 3 it is ,260 cm 1 .

In terms of the ,1000 cm~1 energy gap cited earlier, it is apparent that a 3-4

phonon emission process is a relatively efficient mode of relaxation at 25C.

However, as the gap increases, demanding the simultaneous emission of a large

number of phonons, the process rapidly decreases in probability such that radia-

tive decay can efficiently compete as a relaxation mechanism.

Since in the usual case both radiative and non-radiative processes operate

to relax an excited state, we can express the total fluorescence lifetime of the

Page 36: ARGONNE NATIONAL - UNT Digital Library/67531/metadc303844/m2/1/high_re… · Energy Level Structure and Transition Probabilities in the Spectra of the Trivalent Lanthanides in LaF3

-29-

state as

(TT) = A.-- pJ) + WT(IJ) (17)

where AT is the radiative rate and WT(4J) is the sum of the rates of the various

non-radiative processes.

The dependence of the relaxation rate on energy gap alone, W(o) can be

expressed as a simple exponential, Moos (1970),

W(o) = CeaAE

where C and a are parameters characteristic of the host material, not of the

lanthanide ion. For LaF3, C = 6.6 x 108 (sec-1) and a = -5.6 x 10-3, Riseberg

and Weber (1976).

Adding the temperature dependence, Riseberg and Moos (1967,1968), results

in the expression

W(1pJ) = W(o) {[e i /kT _ 1-1 + 1}AE/fiwi

which can be rewritten

W(pJ) = CeaAEl _--f w /kT]-DE/kiwi (18)

where kiwi is the maximum phonon energy, taken as 350 cm-1 for LaF3, Riseberg

and Weber (1976). Since k = 0.695, kT = 207 cm 1 at room temperature and the

corresponding expression is:

W(*J) = CeaAE(.8155)-AE/350

For example, the radiative lifetime of the 4I9/2 state of Er3+:LaF 3 at

tl2000 cm"1 has been computed to be 20.7 msec but observed to be "..15 msec,

Weber (1967b). Since AE between 419/2 and the next lower 4I11/2 state is

Page 37: ARGONNE NATIONAL - UNT Digital Library/67531/metadc303844/m2/1/high_re… · Energy Level Structure and Transition Probabilities in the Spectra of the Trivalent Lanthanides in LaF3

-30-

2000 cm-1 , W(,J) = ol04 sec-1 . Thus the non-radiative lifetime of '40.1 msec

is rate determining.

4. Comparison of Computed Excited-State Lifetimes with Those Observed

Experimentally

Experimental measurements of excited-state lifetimes for a number of

lanthanides in LaF3 have been reported, and in many instances these values have

been compared to those computed using eq. (13), (17) and (18). Although the

results of the computations were reported, the availability of the relevant

matrix elements of U interconnecting the excited states in the various con-

figurations is very limited. The only tabulation that includes all members of

the series is restricted to matrix elements that join excited states to the

ground state, Carnall et al. (1968b). As a consequence, the results presented

in Appendices III-XIII represent the first systematic effort to make intercon-

necting matrix elements of U available for the whole series and thus enable

calculation of a wide range of lifetimes. Some minor corrections to values re-

ported in the earlier tables have also been made. Calculated radiative life-

times and observed lifetimes for some of the prominent fluorescing states in

Ln3+:LaF3 are given in Table 2, Appendix XIV. An example of the complete cal-

culation of the lifetimes associated with the radiative relaxation of two

states in Tb3+, showing branching ratios to all lower-lying states, is given

in Table 3, Appendix XIV. The strong radiative coupling of the 5D4 to the 5D3

state is clearly indicated. Recently Page et al. (1976) reported lifetimes in

the 100 ysec range for the 5D4 state in Tb3+:LaF3 at 300 K, with little change,

as expected, on cooling to 77 K. However, these values are a factor of ten

shorter than would have been predicted, see Table 2, Appendix XIV, and must be

regarded as questionable. In Tb3+:LaCl3 at 300 K the lifetimes of the 5D3

states were 570 and 1220 )sec, respectively, in good agreement with the calcu-

lated values for the LaF3 host, Barasch and Dieke (1965).

5. Comments on the Use of the Tables

(A) Atomic (free-ion) states

As discussed in the introduction, detailed crystal-field calculations

were only carried out for odd-f-electron systems. For the even-f-electron

systems a center of gravity was computed from the experimentally observed

crystal-field components of each state. These "free-ion" states are recorded

in the appendices and were used as the basis for computing the energy level

parameters. Similar tabulations of the free-ion state energies have been

included for the odd-f-electron systems in order to facilitate use of the

tables of U(K)*2. In these latter cases the computation was made using the

atomic parameter values given in Appendix I with the crystal-field parameters

set equal to zero. In all the tabulations of free-ion levels the state

designation corresponds to the largest component of the eigenvector.

(B) Tables of (U(K))2

The entries in these tables are arranged in order of increasing J-value

for the initial state. Entries are not repeated. For example, the matrix

element between an initial J = 9/2 and a final J = 3/2 state is identical

to the J = 3/2 + J = 9/2 entry. Only the latter is given. If the entry is

missing from the table, the matrix elements are zero. The following partial

tabulation of matrix elements of U(K)*2 for Nd3+:LaF3 joining the ground

(4I9/2) state with several excited states taken from Appendix IV serves as

an illustration and may be compared with results given for Nd3+(aquo) in

Carnall et al. (1968b).

Appendix I

As a result of the correspondence between the energy levels of lantha-

nides in LaCl3 and LaF3, it is convenient to summarize the present status of

the theory applied to the host LaCl3 in order to facilitate the LaF3 discus-

sion. The basic experimental work on trivalent lanthanide spectra in LaCl3

crystals has been described by G. H. Dieke, Dieke (1968), who also gave a

comprehensive historical review and a brief discussion of early efforts at

theoretical analysis. Most of the subsequent extensions of the latter have

been based on the same data, and no attempt will be made to reproduce them

here.

The effect of the crystalline neighborhood on the electronic orbitals of

the rare earth ion is appreciable, but is nevertheless small compared with the

atomic electron interactions, and to a large extent can be treated in terms of

a model whose basis states are the free-ion orbitals themselves, without need

for specific structural detail of the electronic involvement with ligand ions.

Because of the dominance of the atomic forces it is important to have an atomic

Hamiltonian which is detailed enough to accurately describe the observed crystal

level groupings. In the process we have incidently learned much about the

structure of the atomic energy levels themselves.

In a pure 4fN configuration the only interactions to be evaluated would

be the four Slater integrals F0'2'4'6 and the spin-orbit integral, r, plus rela-

tivistic correction terms representing spin-other-orbit and spin-spin inter-

actions. Ab initio evaluations for each of these can be carried out; however,

the latter values are not quite in agreement with experimental ones. This is

not because they are inaccurate in themselves but because there are additional

contributions due to ignored inter-configuration interactions which have the

same angular dependence and are therefore lumped with the former in any empirical

fitting. The experimental values are therefore only effective ones, although

we conventionally continue to give them the original names. These same inter-

actions will in addition produce completely new effective-Hamiltonian operators,

namely: aL(L+1), Trees (1951, 1952, 1964); SG(G2) and yG(R7), Racah (1949) and

Rajnak and Wybourne (1963); Tit., the three-body electrostatic effective opera-

tors discussed by Rajnak and Wybourne (1963), Rajnak (1965), Judd (1966,1972)

and Crosswhite et al. (1968); and A z , the generalized two-body double-vector

operators, Judd et al. (1968) and Crosswhite and Judd (1970).

Fortunately, not all of the theoretically possible operators are needed

in the analysis, and those that are (including the Fk and r corrections) are

all either constant or slowly varying functions of the atomic number Z. For

instance, of the fourteen possible T t., only those six which have non-zero

matrix elements in second-order perturbation theory are retained. Furthermore,

these results are in good agreement with ab initio calculations, Newman and

Taylor (1971,1972), Balasubramanian et al. (1975). A review of the whole ques-

tion of crystal energy level parametrization was given by Newman (1971).

There are thirteen generalized two-body double-vector operators, eight

having rank one in each of the spin and orbital angular momentum spaces. (An

additional one has matrix elements exactly proportional to those of the spin-

orbit interaction and can be ignored). Five have rank two in each of the

spaces. The principal contribution to the latter comes from the spin-spin

interaction and can be estimated by ab initio calculations of the Marvin inte-

grals M0'2'4, Marvin (1947). The former appears to be dominated by spin-other-

orbit effects, parametrized by the same Marvin integrals, and another effect

arising from the fact that there are spin-orbit matrix elements connecting 4fN

with configurations of the type 4fN-ln'f. Rajnak and Wybourne (1964) have

called these "electrostatically-correlated spin-orbit" effects. Matrix ele-

ments have been given by Judd et al. (1968). Their essential role is to allow

for effective spin-orbit variations with spectroscopic term and are parametrized

by the quantities P2'4'6. Ab initio calculations have been given by Newman and

Taylor (1972).

A summary of the parameters derived from LaCl3 crystal studies is given

in Table 1, Crosswhite (1977). As a rule of thumb for estimating atomic param-

eters appropriate fQr the LaF3 case, the LaCl3 FK and C values reported in

Table 1 should be increased slightly: 1.8% For F2, 1.1% for F4, 0.8% for F6

and 0.5% for C. More extensive details are given elsewhere; Crosswhite et al.

(1976), Carnall et al. (1976), Crosswhite et al. (1977), Crosswhite and

Crosswhite (1977). For the major parameters we have found on comparison with

ab initio calculations that the required corrections are remarkably uniform.

Computations with a Hartree-Fock program containing an approximate relativistic

correction, Cowan and Griffin (1976), are given in Table 2, and differences of

these and experimental Fk and C values are shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The two-

body electrostatic correction parameters a, 3 and y show similar slow varia-

tions across the series; the Ti are essentially constant; and the Pk can be

taken proportional to . The Mk(spin-other-orbit) are shown in Fiq. 2.

The crystalline environment can in principle make contributions to each

of these terms in addition to new ones specific to the particular point-group

symmetry. However, experimentally we find that there is a great similarly be-

tween the parameters for the LaC1 3-doped spectra and those of the few free ion

cases for which experimental data are complete enough to permit full param-

etrization (La II, Ce III and Pr IV 4f2 and Pr III 4f3). Systematic values can

be found for the Ti and a1 (or alternately Mk and Pk) which satisfy all known

spectra, whether free ion or crystal, in terms of only a few constants. It

follows therefore that the same model can be used for preliminary estimates for

other spectra such as LaF3-doped crystals.

As to the parametrization of the crystal-field itself, the general spec-

ification that the number of possible two-particle operators is equal to the

number of available independent cells in the Hamiltonian requires 366 additional

ones besides the ten single-particle ies (of which only four are formally used).

Fortunately, the single-particle mode , Judd (1963), Wybourne (1965), Dieke

(1968), works very well, although we ust recognize tiit these parameters repre-

sent much more complicated effects th n the simple Coulomb model visualized by

the early theories. Newman and Tayl (1971) give a discussion of the physical

significance of these parameters.
