Abstract

Spin-Hamiltonian parameters are calculated for

{Gd}^{3 +}

-doped single crystals of rare-earth trifluorides

R F_{3} (R = L a, C e, P r, N d)

, with the use of the point-charge—plus—induced-dipole model. It is found that most of the parameters can be computed to be within experimental error by suitable choices of polarizability tensors.
