Abstract
A crystal field analysis of the optical spectra of Nd3+ in YAG observed by Feofilov et al. (1965) has been made. The parameters obtained by the least-squares method reproduce 24 experimental energy levels of the 4I term with a standard deviation of 3.7 cm-1. The calculated g-values, gx(1.784, gy=-1.094, gz=-3.953, are in good agreement with mod gx mod =1.733, mod gy mod =1.179, mod gz mod =3.915, the EPR values reported by Wolf et al. (1962).Keywords
