Abstract

A theoretical treatment is given of the PJ6 and IJ6 terms of Gd+3 in CaF2 split by either tetragonal or trigonal purely electrostatic crystal fields. A good fit with recently obtained experimental data is shown to exist for the PJ6 case. In attempting to fit the IJ6 terms with experiment we found it necessary to assume an unreasonably high crystal field. Thus, our conclusion that amendment to the IJ6 free-ion energy eigen-functions as given in the literature is needed.
