Abstract

In the present paper, we report on consistent crystal field calculations of the Cr3 ions energy levels in KAl(MoO4)2 using actual D3d site symmetry of the Cr3 position and employing the exchange charge model (ECM) of the crystal field. In addition to the energy level calculations, the HuangRhys factor S=5.7 and effective phonon energy ℏω=268 cm1 were evaluated in the single configurational coordinate model. Detailed treatment of the microscopic crystal field effects in the ECM framework allowed to obtain analytical dependence of the crystal field strength 10Dq on the CrO interionic distance and extracting from it the values of some parameters of the electronvibrational interaction (EVI) in the KAl(MoO4)2:Cr3 system. All obtained results are compared with experimental data and discussed; agreement between the calculated and experimental parameters is good.
