Abstract

Diffuse transmittance spectra of polycrystalline samples of chain nickelate Nd2BaNiO5 were measured with high resolution (0.1 cm-1) over wide ranges of wavenumbers (1500–20000 cm-1) and temperatures (4.2–300 K). The energies of 54 Stark sublevels of the Nd3+ ion and exchange splittings of some of them were determined in the magnetically ordered state of Nd2BaNiO5 (T N = 47.5 ± 1 K). It was shown that the low-temperature magnetic properties of Nd2BaNiO5 are determined by exchange splitting (32 cm-1) of the ground state.
