Electron paramagnetic resonance enhanced crystal field analysis for low point-group symmetry systems: C${}_{2v}$ sites in Sm${}^{3+}$:CaF${}_2$/SrF${}_2$

Sebastian P Horvath, Jon-Paul R Wells, Michael F Reid +2

We present a comprehensive spectroscopic study of C${}_{2v}$ point-group symmetry sites in Sm${}^{3+}$:CaF${}_2$/SrF${}_2$ codoped with either NaF or LiF. Data includes electron paramagnet…
