Abstract

An analysis of the observed magnetic properties of Pr-sulfate, Dy-sulfate and Er-sulfate has been undertaken on the basis of the interaction of the rare earth ion with the lattice. An effective crystal field conforming to tetragonal symmetry, which is the approximate site symmetry of the RE 3+ ion, gives an excellent simulation of the observed behavior. The g-factors and Schottky anomalies in the heat capacity are determined theoretically. Various hyperfine properties including the thermal variation of Mössbauer spectra are predicted in light of the proposed crystal field.
