摘要
We have observed absorption bands corresponding to Nd3+ crystal-field (CF) excitations in NdBa2Cu3O6 by infrared spectroscopy, The observed absorption peaks are assigned to different transitions between CF levels of the I-4(9/2) ground slate to the excited multiplets I-4(11/2),I-4(13/2), and I-4(15/2) Of Nd3+ ions on the regular rare-earth sites. From fits to these levels, we have calculated a more precise set of CF parameters compared to previous results obtained on the basis of the ground state multiplet only. Crystal-field transitions from Nd3+ ions on the Ba site have also been observed. [S0163-1829(99)07009-5].
