Communications in Theoretical Physics
Traditional ligand-field theory has to be improved by taking into account
both “pure electronic” contribution and electron-phonon interaction one
(including lattice-vibrational relaxation energy). By means of improved
ligand-field theory, R1, R2, R'3, R'2, and R'1
lines, U band, ground-state zero-field-splitting (GSZFS) and ground-state g
factors as well as thermal shifts of R1 line and R2 line of YAG:Cr3+ have been calculated. The results are in very good agreement with the experimental data. In contrast with ruby, the octahedron of ligand oxygen ions surrounding the central Cr3+ ion in YAG:Cr3+ is
compressed along the [111] direction. Thus, for YAG:Cr3+ and ruby,
the splitting of t234A2 (or t232E) has opposite order,
and the trigonal-field parameters of the two crystals have opposite signs.
In thermal shifts of R1 and R2 lines of YAG:Cr3+, the
temperature-dependent contributions due to EPI are dominant.
