Geometry optimization and wave function-based complete-active-space self-consistent field-embedded cluster calculations have been performed for a series of Ce3+-doped fluoride compounds (CaF2, YF3, LaF3, KMgF3, LiYF4, K2YF5, and KY3F10) to investigate local coordination structures, crystal field parameters, and 5d1 energy-level structures of doping Ce3+ ions. The crystal-field parameters of Ce3+ are extracted from the calculated energies and wave functions. The calculated crystal-field parameters and 5d1 energy-level structures show excellent consistency with the experimental results. Our calculations show that the onset of 4f → 5d absorption, which is important in phosphors and scintillators, can be well-predicted. Apart from that, the distortion of local structure due to doping, the wave functions, and the crystal-field parameters of 4f1 and 5d1 states of Ce3+ in the hosts can be obtained. Those can seldom be obtained by fitting empirical crystal-field Hamiltonian to experimental data but are required b...
