Abstract

In this paper we report on the spectroscopic properties of Mn⁴⁺ (3d³) ion in the orthorhombic perovskite, GdAlO₃ and calculate the energy levels using the exchange charge model of crystal-field theory. The calculated Mn⁴⁺ energy levels are in good agreement with the experimental data. The results of our calculations yield the crystal-field splitting and Racah parameters of Dq = 2083 cm⁻¹, B = 780 cm⁻¹ and C = 2864 cm⁻¹, with C/B = 3.67. The emission spectrum is composed of the zero phonon line (²E_g → ⁴A_2g transition) with dominating intensity and its vibrational sidebands. We have also calculated Mulliken atomic charges and bond populations for three isostructural perovskites (GdAlO₃, LaGaO₃ and CaZrO₃) to seek correlation between the energy position of the Mn⁴⁺ ²E level and the covalence of Mn⁴⁺[sbnd]O^2- chemical bonding.
