Optical Absorption Spectra of H2O Ice Doped with Ytterbium Chloride YbCl3
Abstract Near-infrared absorption spectra of a frozen dilute solution of ytterbium chloride have been obtained at 77 K, 20 K, and 4.2 K. They contain two broad lines revealing a Stark splitting of 60 cm-1 of the excited 2 F 5/2 , level of the Yb 3+ ion. Such spectra indicate that in frozen solutions...

| Summary: | Abstract Near-infrared absorption spectra of a frozen dilute solution of ytterbium chloride have been obtained at 77 K, 20 K, and 4.2 K. They contain two broad lines revealing a Stark splitting of 60 cm-1 of the excited 2 F 5/2 , level of the Yb 3+ ion. Such spectra indicate that in frozen solutions of ytterbium chloride the Yb 3+ ions have crystalline or quasi-crystalline surroundings which are similar for most ions; different possibilities are discussed. |
