Abstract
The semi-empirical superposition model has been applied to calculate the zero field splitting parameters of Mn2+ ion in LiTaO3 single crystal, assuming that Mn2+ ion occupies one of two possible sites: Li1+ or Ta5+ site, respectively. The 2nd-order axial zero field splitting parameters are 958 × 10-4 cm-1 at Li1+ site and 193 × 10-4 cm-1 site for Mn2+ ions. The 4th-order zero field splitting parameters at Li1+ and Ta5+ sites are also determined. These calculated zero field splitting parameters are very important to determine the substitutional sites of doped impurity ions in LiTaO3 crystal.
Keywords: Mn^2+ ion; LiTaO_3 single crystal; zero field splitting; superposition model; substitutional sites
