Abstract

The Ωt intensity parameters (t=2,4,6) of Er3+ ions in several oxide glasses and the isomer shift (IS) of 151Eu Mössbauer spectra in glasses of the same composition were determined. Among these Ωt’s, the Ω6 parameter was found to have a good relation with IS; Ω6 decreases with an increase of IS which reflects the 6s electron density of rare-earth ions. From the theoretical expression of Ωt, Ω6 is considered to be more affected by the overlap integrals of the 4f and 5d orbitals than Ω2 and Ω4, and to increase with an increase of these overlap integrals. These overlap integrals are supposed to decrease when the 6s electron density is larger, since the 6s electron density shields the 5d electron orbital.
