This is a summary of the few observations available to date. Although there remain doubts concerning the reliability of most of the published results, a linear polarization of a few percent, perpendicular to the galactic plane, is indicated. Therefore, scattering of galactic light by interstellar dust appears to be the dominating source of galactic background polarization. There is a severe lack of model calculations, which would be needed for a physical interpretation of the data.

The title compounds (natural low-dimensional semiconductors) show strong excitonic optical absorption bands in the UV-visible spectral region, because of the dielectric confinement of excitons. as in the cases of other similar systems based on PbX2-4, SnX2-4. PtI - X - PtIV-X , Cdx,Sy-clusters etc

AbstractThe spectra of luminescence and magnetic circular polarization of luminescence of praseodymium–yttrium aluminum garnet Pr^3+ : Y_3Al_5O_12 (PrYAG) are studied in the visible spectral region at temperature T = 300 K. An analysis of spectral dependences of magnetooptical and optical spectra makes it possible to identify optical 4  f –4  f -transitions between Stark sublevels of multiplets ^3 P _0, ^3 P _1, ^3 Н _5, and ^3 Н _6 in PrYAG. It was shown that an important role in the spectrum of the degree of magnetic circular polarization of luminescence of this paramagnetic garnet is played by the effect of quantum-mechanical J – J mixing of states of Stark singlets ^3 Н _5 and ^3 Н _6 of non-Kramer rare-earth ion Pr^3+ in the “green” luminescence band related to forbidden 4  f → 4  f transition ^3 P _0 → ^3 Н _5 in the visible spectral region. To interpret the spectra of magnetic circular polarization of luminescence, the energy of experimentally determined Stark sublevels of multiplets under study, their irreducible representations and wave functions determined by numerical simulation of the energy spectrum of the rare-earth ion Pr^3+ in the garnet structure are used.
