Derivation of Dq/B and C/B from Electronic Spectra of Transition Metal Ions in Cubic Fields Using Auxiliary Tanabe-Sugano Diagrams

摘要

Auxiliary Tanabe-Sugano diagrams are presented. They enable a rapid and reliable graphical derivation of Dq/B and C/B crystal field parameter ratios from spectroscopic data. Using these values, one can calculate Dq and B by employing the original Tanabe-Sugano diagrams. Subsequently, C can also be calculated irrespective of the value C/B fixed in the Tanabe-Sugano diagram.
