G Value

AbstractThe g values of rare earth ions obtained from either paramagnetic resonance or Zeeman measurements are often used to interpret the location and/or environment surrounding rare earth ions. In the case of centres with cubic symmetry the g value can be used to distinguish between substitutional and interstitial sites. For centres with less than cubic symmetry the average g value, taken as 1/3 trace of the g tensor, is often used as an indication of the lattice location and/or a measure of the strength of the local crystal field. This approach is widely used but is based on the assumption that the non-cubic terms in the total crystal field potential are small compared with the cubic crystal field. In this paper we have explored this assumption by calculating the principal g values in axial crystal fields for the Er3+ ion. We examine the limits over which the average g value approach is valid. Comparison is made with published results.

The theory that has been developed for rare-earth ions in crystals is here applied to the double nitrates. The paramagnetic resonance data and certain spectroscopic properties of the different rare-earth double nitrates, depending as they do on the crystalline electric field at a rare-earth ion, are related to the six parameters through which the field is defined. It is found that most of the experimental results can be fitted to values of the parameters that vary in a systematic fashion along the rare-earth series.
