4f–5d Transitions of Tb3+ in Cs2NaYF6: The Effect of Distortion of the Excited-State Configuration

Abstract: The low-temperature absorption and excitation spectra of interconfigurational 4f-5d transitions of Tb(3+) in a cubic fluoride host demonstrate the appearance of a first-order linear Jahn-Teller effect for the high-spin excited states of the excited electronic configuration 4f(7)5d involving 5d t(2g) orbitals. The τ(2g) mode is observed to be responsible for the splitting of the otherwise degenerate 5d t(2g) orbitals.

“…It is rare that d-f emission spectra of lanthanides show such a well-resolved vibrational fine structure in which multiple vibrational modes can be identified. In previous work well-resolved spectra showing coupling with two vibrations have been reported for Ce 3+ , Pr 3+ and Tb 3+ in elpasolites [18][19][20] with values for S between 1 and 2.…”

“…Also in d 1 systems such as Al 2 O 3 :Ti 3+ 21 Jahn–Teller distortion of the ground and excited state has been reported, leading to spectra different from those predicted by the crystal‐field theory. For 4f5d states of lanthanides a Jahn–Teller distortion has been suggested, with a small (75 cm –1 ) Jahn–Teller stabilization energy 22. Normalized emission spectra of the single crystals for different temperatures are shown in Figure 4.…”

“…The position of the latter strongly depends on the coordination sphere. Unfortunately, no respective investigations of cyanide‐containing compounds are available, but for Cs 2 NaYF 6 :Tb 3+ 41 and BaGdB 9 O 16 :Tb 3+ 42 the f–d transition bands are located at energies above 280 nm. These bands can be attributed to excited states of the ligands.…”
