Abstract

The gyromagnetic factors for Nd3+ in scheelite-type ABO4 compounds (A = Cd, Ca, Pb, Ba; B = Mo, W) are theoretically studied by the perturbation formulas of the anisotropic g factors g∥ and g⊥ for a 4f3 ion in tetragonal symmetry. In these formulas, the contributions to the g factors due to the second-order perturbation terms and the admixtures of various energy levels are taken into account. The relevant crystal-field parameters are determined by the superposition model and the local geometrical relationship of the A2+ sites occupied by the impurity Nd3+. The obtained g factors agree reasonably with the observed values. The discrepancies between theory and experiment are discussed.
