Optical Spectroscopy of Lanthanides: Magnetic and Hyperfine
Interactions represents the sixth and final book by the late Brian
Wybourne, an accomplished pioneer in the spectroscopy of rare earth
ions, and Lidia Smentek, a leading theoretical physicist in the
field. The book provides a definitive and up-to-date theoretical
description of spectroscopic properties of lanthanides doped in
various materials.
The book integrates computer-assisted calculations developed
since Wybourne's classic publication on the topic. It contains
useful Maple(TM) routines, discussions, and new aspects of the
theory of f-electron systems. Establishing a unified basis for
understanding state-of-the-art applications and techniques used in
the field, the book reviews fundamentals based on Wybourne's
graduate lectures, which include the theory of nuclei, the theory
of angular momentum, Racah algebra, and effective tensor operators.
It then describes magnetic and hyperfine interactions and their
impact on the energy structure and transition amplitudes of the
lanthanide ions. The text culminates with a relativistic
description of "f"↔"f" electric and magnetic dipole transitions,
covering sensitized luminescence and a new parametrization scheme
of f-spectra.
Optical Spectroscopy of Lanthanides enables scientists to
construct accurate and reliable theoretical models to elucidate
lanthanides and their properties. This text is ideal for exploring
a range of lanthanide applications including electronic data
storage, lasers, superconductors, medicine, nuclear engineering,
and nanomaterials.
