Electron Paramagnetic Resonance of Photoexcited States ofNd+3in Single Crystals of LaCl3

Abstract
Electron-paramagnetic-resonance spectra of Nd+3 ions in the f3, I1324 and I1524 excited states were observed at ∼1.5°K in a single-crystal LaCl3 host. Values of the spin-Hamiltonian parameters which describe the spectra of the even-nuclear-spin species and of the Nd+3145 ion were determined. The excited states of Nd+3 were populated by energy transfer from photoexcited U+3 ions incorporated in the same crystal.
