Abstract

The electron-phonon coupling and Jahn-Teller effect in the first excited state ⁴ T_{2 g} of Cr³⁺ in K₂LiAlF₆ crystal (which has the potential for tunable solid-state lasers applications) are considered. The force constants for the a_1g and e_g normal modes are calculated with the FG matrix method for the octahedral [CrF₆]^3- cluster and the Huang-Rhys factors S_{a_1g} and S_{e_g} from the experimental value of the total Huang-Rhys factor and Stokes shift. Using these data, the changes of the metal-ligand bond lengths Δ x_eq, Δ y_eq = 0.072 Å (equatorial expansion) and Δ z_eq = - 0.015 Å (axial compression) were estimated. The Jahn-Teller stabilization energy has been evaluated from the contour plot of the ⁴ T_{2 g} electronic state potential energy surface. The obtained results are compared with those for other fluorides; the common trends are found and discussed.
