| The optical absorption spectra of lithium sodium potassium sulphate doped Ni2+ ions at 300 and 77 K was recorded. The observed bands are assigned as transitions from the ground state 3A2g(F) to various excited triplet and singlet states of the Ni2+ ion in octahedral symmetry. The splittings observed for the bands 3T1g(F) and 3T2g(F) at liquid nitrogen temperature have been explained as due to spin-orbit interaction. The oscillator strengths of the transitions were computed from the area under the curves. From a detailed analysis of the bands of the spectrum, the crystal field parameters B, C, Dq and ξ are evaluated. |
