We present a new lite python-based program, CrysFieldExplorer, for fast optimizing crystal electric field (CEF) parameters to fit experimental data. The main novelty of CrysFieldExplorer is the development of a unique loss function,…
We systematically examine uncertainties from fitting rare earth single-ion crystal electric field (CEF) Hamiltonians to inelastic neutron scattering data. Using pyrochlore and delafossite structures as test cases, we find that uncertainty…
On the basis of the point charge model, we formulate the crystalline electronic field (CEF) Hamiltonian $H_{\rm CEF}$ in the rare-earth based quasicrystal (QC) and approximant crystal (AC) with ligand ions located at pseudo 5-fold…
The effective crystal field Hamiltonian provides the key description of the electronic properties of single-ion magnets, but obtaining its parameters from ab initio computation is challenging. We introduce a simple approach to derive the…
We show that crystal-field calculations for $C_1$ point-group symmetry are possible, and that such calculations can be performed with sufficient accuracy to have substantial utility for rare-earth based quantum information applications. In…
PySCF is a general-purpose electronic structure platform designed from the ground up to emphasize code simplicity, both to aid new method development, as well as for flexibility in computational workflow. The package provides a wide range…
Computational crystal-field models have provided consistent models of both electronic and Zeeman-hyperfine structure for several rare earth ions. These techniques have not yet been applied to the Zeeman-hyperfine structure of Eu$^{3+}$…
This is the installation and used manual of SIMPRE 1.1, a fortran77 code that can implement different effective electrostatic models based on point charges around a rare earth ion. The program calculates the full set of crystal field…
A Python program for calculating the metrics necessary to perform information-theory based symmetry classifications and quantifications of transmission electron diffraction spot patterns is introduced. It is the first of its kind, in that…

HMCF "Hamiltonian Monte Carlo for Fields" is a software add-on for the NIFTy "Numerical Information Field Theory" framework implementing Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) sampling in Python. HMCF as well as NIFTy are designed to address…
The crystal field theory as explained by Abragam and Bleaney in their landmark 1970 book on transition-ion electron paramagnetic resonance remains a cornerstone in the development of luminescence applications and molecular magnets based on…
We present the python package DiPolMol-Py, which can be used to calculate the rotational and hyperfine structure of $^2\Sigma$ molecules. The calculations can be performed in the presence of dc magnetic fields, dc electric fields and far…
We describe a real-space approach to the calculation of the properties of an insulating crystal in an applied electric field, based on the iterative determination of the Wannier functions (WF's) of the occupied bands. It has been recently…

Focused optical fields are key to a multitude of applications involving light-matter interactions, such as optical microscopy, single-molecule spectroscopy, optical tweezers, lithography, or quantum coherent control. A detailed vectorial…
Calculated energy levels from recent \emph{ab initio} studies of the electronic structure of SrCl$_{2}$:Yb$^{2+}$ and CsCaBr$_{3}$:Yb$^{2+}$ are fitted with a semi-empirical "crystal-field" Hamiltonian, which acts within the model space…
K$_2$YF$_5$ crystals doped with lanthanide ions have a variety of possible optical applications. Owing to the low symmetry of the system, the crystal structure cannot be unambiguously determined by x-ray diffraction. However,…
