Abstract

Optical properties of Nd³⁺ doped into K₂YF₅ single crystal have been analysed. A detailed electronic energy level scheme of Nd³⁺ ion in the crystalline structure has been deduced from the absorption, emission and time resolved spectra recorded at 12 K. Energy level simulation of Nd³⁺ ions in K₂YF₅ has been carried out and the phenomenological crystal field parameters were determined. The root mean square (r.m.s.) standard deviation is 19.0 cm^-1, indicating a satisfying agreement between the calculated and experimental levels. The results are also compared to those reported for BaY₂F₈:Nd³⁺ and LiYF₄:Nd³⁺ crystals, and the tendency of a covalence and crystal field decreasing effect was observed from K₂YF₅, BaY₂F₈ to LiYF₄.
