Abstract

Crystal field (CF) analysis of the energy levels scheme of Cr3+ ion doped in LiAl5O8 spinel is performed. Using the crystal structure data and exchange charge model of CF, the CF parameters were calculated and Cr3+ CF Hamiltonian was diagonalized in the basis set spanned by 120 wave functions of all 8 LS terms of Cr3+ ion. The obtained energy levels and estimated Racah parameters B and C were compared with experimental spectroscopic data for the LiAl5O8:Cr3+ crystal; good agreement has been demonstrated.
