Crystal field and magnetic ordering in the Haldane-chain compound Er2BaNiO5 as studied by optical spectroscopy
2004
Abstract High-resolution absorption spectra of the chain compound Er 2 BaNiO 5 were measured in a wide range of frequencies (6000–20,000 cm −1 ) and temperatures (2.5–300 K). Energies of 38 crystal-field levels of Er 3+ in a paramagnetic Er 2 BaNiO 5 were determined. Exchange splittings of crystal-field levels in the antiferromagnetically ordered state ( T N =34 K) were measured. Crystal-field calculations were performed and the obtained wave functions were used to calculate the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility to be compared with the detailed experimental dependence measured in this work.
