Abstract
The polarized crystal spectra of cobalt-doped MnF2 have been measured down to near 4.2°K. Three broad, anisotropic bands near 7200, 14 000, and 20 000 cm−1 are seen that are presumably due to the spin-allowed 4T1g(F)→4T2g(F), 4A2g(F), and 4T1g(P) transitions of substitutional Co2+, 3d7 ions. The D2h symmetry provided by the rutile structure of the MnF2 lattice produced marked orthorhombic splitting of about 3000 cm−1 in the 4T1g(P) band. Several weak spin-forbidden bands are also seen. The observed anisotropy indicates that the 4T2g(F) band is largely magnetic dipole while the other two are electric dipole. These latter parity-forbidden transitions are aided by coupling with odd lattice vibrations. Application of the appropriate selection rules allows tentative identification of several of the states involved.
