The optical absorption spectra of lithium sodium potassium sulphate doped Ni^{2+} ions at 300 and 77 K was recorded. The observed bands are assigned as transitions from the ground state ^{3}A_{2g}(F) to various excited triplet and singlet states of the Ni^{2+} ion in octahedral symmetry. The splittings observed for the bands ^{3}T_{1g}(F) and ^{3}T_{2g}(F) at liquid nitrogen temperature have been explained as due to spin-orbit interaction. The oscillator strengths of the transitions were computed from the area under the curves. From a detailed analysis of the bands of the spectrum, the crystal field parameters B, C, Dq and ξ are evaluated.
We report on the studies of autoionization efficiency and the relevant recombination mechanism for Eu^{2+} in Ca_{x}Cd_{1-x}F_{2} depending on the energy level position of Eu^{2+} excited states in respect to the conduction band states.
A survey of the physical properties of solid state materials activated with d^{2}, d^{3} and d^{8} transition metal ions is presented in the context of tunable laser operation. An emphasis is put on common characteristics of all three systems, like a strong electron-phonon coupling and similar electronic structures. The conditions necessary to obtain a tunable operation and to avoid an overlap of the excited state absorption and emission are formulated. It is shown that the d^{3} configuration system has the largest range of allowed values of the crystal field parameter 10Dq.
The paper concerns investigations of shallow centres in semi-insulating (SI) GaAs samples. A very sensitive measuring method - magnetophotoconductivity due to intra-shallow-donor transitions - was used. We report the behaviour of intra-impurity transitions as well as an additional structure in low magnetic fields for different far-infrared wavelengths (70.6 μm, 96.5 μm, 118.8 μm, 163 µm). The results are discussed in terms of a fluctuating potential from ionized centres in SI GaAs. The physical mechanism responsible for the low magnetic field structure is proposed.
Optical absorption and the yield stress value of NaCl : Ni^{2+} crystals were measured as functions of the annealing temperature. Morphology and possible structure types of the NiCl_{2} particles formed under different annealing conditions have been shortly discussed.
