Abstract

AbstractThe energy levels belonging to the three lowest J multiplets of the Er3+ ion in Er2O3 and ErF3 were determined by means of high‐resolution optical absorption spectroscopy. A crystal‐field analysis of these data by means of Newman's Superposition Model was performed, allowing to determine intrinsic parameters which are quite consistent with other oxides and fluorides and to check the validity of the transferability postulate within these compounds. The possibility to use these data to analyze crystalline nanophases in glasses is briefly discussed. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
