Abstract

The excited manifolds of luminescent materials activated with lanthanide ions and their associated spectroscopies range in complexity from the simplest case of Ce\(^{3+}\)-doped materials, where only one unpaired electron plays the relevant roles, to the much more complex case of Eu\(^{2+}\)-doped materials, where many electrons are active in the open-shells and create a variety of problems and opportunities. In this Chapter, a multiconfigurational ab initio approach to fundamental spectroscopic studies of materials with different levels of complexity is discussed.

Notes

  1. 1.

    For the sake of simplicity, the notation that corresponds to the cubic \(O_h\) site of Eu\(^{2+}\) in the difluorides will be used in this discussion. For the octahedral \(O_h\) site of Eu\(^{2+}\) in the sulfides, everything holds, except that 5\(de_{g}\) and 5\(dt_{2g}\) must be interchanged.
