Abstract

The Van Vleck orbit-lattice interaction appropriate for the ethyl sulfate crystal has been applied to estimate the relaxation rates of Pr 3+ in YES and LaES, Tb 3+ in YES, and Ho 3+ in YES and HoES. The estimates based on our theory along with the phonon bottleneck effect are in good agreement with the experimental data.
