Abstract

Emission spectra at 10 K employing synchrotron radiation have been recorded for the tripositive lanthanide ions, Ln = Sm, Gd, Tb, Ho, and Er situated at octahedral (or nearly octahedral) site symmetry in hexafluoroelpasolite Cs₂NaMF₆ (M = Y, Sc, or Ga) lattices. Interconfigurational 5d → 4f transitions are only observed for Er³⁺, and the intensity ratio of 4f¹⁰5d → 4f¹¹ emission, compared with 4f¹¹ → 4f¹¹ emission, with excitation into 5d levels, is greater for M = Ga than M = Sc. The highest energy intraconfigurational emission is from ⁴G_5/2 (Sm³⁺), ⁶P_7/2 (Gd³⁺), ⁵D₃ (Tb³⁺), ⁵G₄ (Ho³⁺), and ²F(2)_7/2 (Er³⁺). Detailed energy level assignments have been given for Ln = Sm, Gd, and the remaining spectra are assigned as multiplet-multiplet transitions. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
