Theoretical Study of Energy-Level Splitting of Cs2NaPrCl6 Crystal

Article Preview

Abstract:

The 91×91 complete energy matrix of 4f2 configuration ion Pr3+ in octahedral cubic crystal field has been constructed based upon the combination of Racah’s group-theoretical consideration with Slater’s wavefunctions. The energy levels of the neat hexachloride elpasolite crystals Cs2NaPrCl6 containing rare earth Pr3+ ion have been calculated. The results imply that the diagonalization to the complete energy matrix can be received as an effective method of performing a theoretical calculation to the rare earth compounds.
