Abstract

Detailed and consistent crystal field analysis of the LiGa 5O8:Cr3+ absorption spectrum is performed in the present paper by using the exchange charge model of crystal field. We calculate the crystal field parameters from the crystal structure date and diagonalize the crystal field Hamiltonian to obtain the energy level structure of Cr3+ ions in LiGa5O8. The obtained energy levels and estimated Racah parameters B and C were compared with the experimental spectroscopic data; good agreement was demonstrated.
