Luminescent upconversion is a promising way to harvest near-infrared (NIR) sunlight and
transforms it into visible light that can be directly absorbed by active materials of solar cells …

Here we develop a general approach to calculating the energy spectrum and the wave
functions of the low-lying magnetic levels of a lanthanoid ion submitted to the crystal field …

We report the study of a Dy‐based metal–organic framework (MOF) with unprecedented
magnetic properties. The compound is made of nine‐coordinated DyIII magnetic building …

(QIP) uses superposition states of photons or atoms to process, store, and transmit data in …

Resolved hyperfine structure and narrow inhomogeneously broadened lines in the optical
spectra of a rare-earth-doped crystal are favorable for the implementation of various …

In this review we briefly discuss some new trends in the design of single molecule magnets
based on transition (3d, 4d, 5d) and rare-earth (4f) metal ions. Within this broad theme the …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the first-principles approach for unambiguous
analysis of the experimental spectra or for prediction of optical spectra of unknown materials …

We report on a high-resolution optical and magneto-optical spectroscopy, luminescence,
and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies of yttrium orthophosphate single …

We briefly describe the fundamental factors affecting the electronic structure of lanthanide
complexes, with some specific focus on the symmetry, starting from free ion electronic …

Herein, a systematic microscopic investigation of the crystal-field (CF) effects on Mn4+ ions
doped at triclinic sites in the double perovskite La2ZnTiO6 crystal was performed using two …
