Absorption, excitation and emission spectra of cadmium fluoride crystals doped with rare-earth ions were investigated. In contrast to alkaline-earth fluorides the absorption spectra due to 4f - 5d transitions of Ce$^{3+}$, Pr$^{3+}$ and…

The location of the energy levels of rare-earth (RE) elements in the energy band diagram of BaF2 and CdF2 crystals is determined. The role of RE3+ and RE2+ ions in the capture of charge carriers, luminescence, and the formation of radiation…

The effect of rare-earth ions (R = Er^{3+}, Tb^{3+}) with strong spin-orbit coupling on the dielectric properties and the electric polarization induced by local polar phase separation domains in RMn_2O_5 multiferroics has been studied.…

We have studied the absorption spectra of x-ray irradiation-induced Ce2+ and Pr2+ ions in crystals of alkaline-earth fluorides. We have calculated absorption spectra of divalent praseodymium ions in SrF2 crystals doped with Pr2+ for the…

The effect of rare-earth ions (R = Er$_3^+$, Tb$_3^+$, and Ce$_{3.75}^+$) on the dielectric properties and the electric polarization induced by local polar phase separation domains in solid solutions of R$_{0.8}$Ce$_{0.2}$Mn$_2$O$_5$ (R =…

We report inelastic neutron scattering measurements of crystal field transitions in PrFeAsO, PrFeAsO0.87F0.13, and NdFeAsO0.85F0.15. Doping with fluorine produces additional crystal field excitations, providing evidence that there are two…

Exposure of matter to high energy, heavy ions induces defects along the trajectories of the ions through electronic and nuclear energy loss processes. Defects, including color centers, can recombine or form along latent damage tracks in…

Aliovalent rare earth substitution into the alkaline earth site of CaFe2As2 single-crystals is used to fine-tune structural, magnetic and electronic properties of this iron-based superconducting system. Neutron and single crystal x-ray…

We have investigated the electronic structure of CaCu3Ru4O12 and LaCu3Ru4O12 using soft x-ray photoelectron and absorption spectroscopy together with band structure and cluster configuration interaction calculations. We found the Cu to be…

A key issue in heavy fermion research is how subtle changes in the hybridization between the 4$f$ (5$f$) and conduction electrons can result in fundamentally different ground states. CeRhIn$_5$ stands out as a particularly notable example:…

We investigate the role of electron correlation effects in the electric dipole polarizabilities of the ground states of the alkaline earth and ytterbium atoms by employing the relativistic coupled-cluster (RCC) theory. These effects are…

Rare-earth ions are characterised by transitions with very narrow linewidths even in solid state crystals. Exceedingly long coherence times have been shown on both spin and optical transitions of rare-earth-ion doped crystals. A key factor,…

We investigated the structural evolution and optical properties of beta-Ga2O3 crystals implanted with different rare-earth (RE) ions using channeling Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry, Positron Annihilation, Photoluminescence, and…

Polycrystalline samples of ternary rare earth germanides R$_{2}$Co$_{3}$Ge$_{5}$(R = La, Ce and Pr) have been prepared and investigated by means of magnetic susceptibility, isothermal magnetization, electrical resistivity and specific heat…

Neutron scattering experiments have been performed on the ternary rare-earth diborocarbide Ce$^{11}$B$_2$C$_2$. The powder diffraction experiment confirms formation of a long-range magnetic order at $T_{\rm N} = 7.3$ K, where a sinusoidally…

Harnessing rare-earth ions in oxides for quantum networks requires integration with bright emitters in III-V semiconductors, but local disorder and interfacial noise limit their optical coherence. Here, we investigate the microscopic…

Peculiarities of mixed cation effect in ternary glasses whose composition involves alkali and non-alkali unicharged ions and/or alkaline earth ions are explored within context of defect model for mixed mobile ion effect (V. Belostotsky, J.…

The formation of intrinsic defects by ionizing radiation in some ionic crystals in the anion sublattice is only associated with the instability of the self-trapped exciton up to now. In this paper we propose a new mechanism for the…

R2In (R = rare earth) intermetallics exhibit unusual magnetic and magnetocaloric properties, driven by subtle electronic effects, lattice distortions, and spin-lattice coupling. Most of these binary compounds adopt the hexagonal Ni2In-type…

Both the basic electronic structure of tetraborides, and the changes across the lanthanide series in $R$B$_4$ ($R$ = rare earth) compounds, are studied using the correlated band theory LDA+U method in the all-electron Full Potential Local…
