Abstract
Measurements of the magnetic susceptibilities and their anisotropies of single crystals of Er${(\mathrm{OH})}_{3}$ in the temperature range of 300-70 K are reported here for the first time. Using these results, crystal-field analysis was made to obtain the crystal-field levels of the ground and excited terms, which explained the observed optical spectra. The $g$ values were found to be ${g}_{\ensuremath{\parallel}}=1.69\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.01$ and ${g}_{\ensuremath{\perp}}=8.84\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.02$. The nuclear hyperfine splitting was also calculated and the hyperfine constants $A$ and $B$, the internal magnetic field, and the quadrupolar interactions at different temperatures were determined.
