Abstract

The Stark structure of multiplets and the oscillator strengths of absorption transitions in Pr3+ ions in a Y3Al5O12 crystal have been described with allowance for the effect of the excited opposite-parity configuration and the charge-transfer configuration. To take into account this effect, a modified crystal-field Hamiltonian and an effective line-strength operator for intermultiplet electric-dipole transitions are proposed. Their use in description of experimental data makes it possible to decrease the standard deviation by 37 and 20%, respectively, in comparison with the standard theories. The even-and odd-crystal-field parameters and the covalence parameters have been obtained from the description of Stark levels. The intensity parameters calculated on the basis of the covalence parameters and odd-crystal-field parameters are in satisfactory agreement with the parameters obtained from the description of the experimental oscillator strengths.
