Dorenbos, P. (author)The energy of the 4f-5d transitions of divalent and trivalent lanthanide impurities in compounds depends strongly on the type of lanthanide, its valence, and the type of compound. Despite this large variability there is much systematic in 4f-5d transition energy. Once it is known for one lanthanide that for all others when in the same compound...journal article 2012

Dorenbos, P. (author)Lanthanides in compounds can adopt the tetravalent [Xe]4fn?1 (like Ce4+, Pr4+, Tb4+), the trivalent [Xe]4fn (all lanthanides), or the divalent [Xe]4f n+1 configuration (like Eu2+, Yb2+, Sm2+, Tm2+). The 4f-electron binding energy depends on the charge Q of the lanthanide ion and its chemical environment A. Experimental data on three environments...journal article 2012
