MAGNETIC CIRCULARLY POLARIZED EMISSION STUDIES OF TRANSITION METAL IONS IN CUBIC HOSTS

Abstract

Sharp-line emission at liquid helium temperature has been observed for a variety of transition metal ions doped into cubic host crystals. A complementary technique which we have developed is that of Magnetic Circularly Polarized Emission (MCPE). In this paper, we report on the MCPE spectra of some transition metal ions doped into $Cs_{2}ZrC1_{6}$ and $Cs_{2}GeF_{6}$ hosts.
