Theoretical Spectroscopy of Transition Metal and Rare Earth IonsFrom Free State to Crystal Field\nAuthor(s): Mikhail G. Brik, Ma Chong-Geng\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Pan Stanford Publishing Pte Ltd, Singapore\nImprint: Pan Stanford Publishing Pte Ltd\nISBN-13: 9789814800563, 978-9814800563\nSynopsis\nThis book describes in detail the main concepts of theoretical spectroscopy of transition metal and rare-earth ions. It shows how the energy levels of different electron configurations are formed and calculated for the ions in a free state and in crystals, how group theory can help in solving main spectroscopic problems, and how the modern DFT-based methods of calculations of electronic structure can be combined with the semi-empirical crystal field models. The style of presentation makes the book helpful for a wide audience ranging from graduate students to experienced researchers.\n\nPerformance of optical materials crucially depends on the impurity ions intentionally introduced in.
