KMgF 3 and KZnF 3 crystals doped with Nd 3+ ions were studied using EPR and optical spectroscopy methods. Several types of paramagnetic centers of Nd3+: KMgF 3 -two of tetragonal and one of rhombic symmetry, KZnF 3 --one of tetragonal and one of trigonal symmetry were found. Parameters of the corresponding spin Hamiltonians were determined. Using optical spectroscopy paramagnetic centers Nd 2+ and Nd 4+ in KMgF 3 were found.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
