  • Title: Dependence of charge transfer energy on crystal structure and composition in Eu3+-doped compounds.
    Author: Li L, Zhang S.
    Journal: J Phys Chem B; 2006 Nov 02; 110(43):21438-43. PubMed ID: 17064092.
    Abstract:
    We report a method for estimating the positions of charge transfer (CT) bands in Eu3+-doped complex crystals. The environmental factor (h(e)) influencing the CT energy is presented. h(e) consists of four chemical bond parameters: the covalency, the bond volume polarization, the presented charge of the ligand in the chemical bond, and the coordination number of the central ion. These parameters are calculated with the dielectric theory of complex crystals. The relationship between the experimental CT energies and calculated environmental factors was established by an empirical formula. The calculated values are in good agreement with the experimental results. Such a relationship was confirmed by detailed analysis. In addition, our method is also useful to predict the charge-transfer position of any other rare earth ion.
