The ultraviolet-absorption spectra of europium and ytterbium ions in Ca F 2 crystals have been measured at room and liquid-nitrogen temperatures. Their spectra are similar to each other in the general location of their absorption bands. Both spectra consist of:(i) 4 f→ 5 d bands, between about 24 000 cm− 1 and about 50 000 cm− 1, due to isolated R E 2+ with crystal field strength∼ 17 000 cm− 1 between e g and t 2 g bands;(ii) 4 f→ 5 d bands, shifted∼ 9 000 cm− 1 to higher energy, due to R E 2+ ions surrounded by R E 3+ neighbors;(iii) a 4 f→ 6 p broad and weak band of Eu 2+ in Ca F 2 with maximum at∼ 71 000 cm− 1; and (iv) 4 f→ 5 d bands above∼ 64 000 cm− 1 due to isolated R E 3+ and cluster-ion R E 3+. The structure in the absorption spectra of both isolated RE 2+(4 f n) and RE 3+(4 f n) ions can be interpreted as formed through interaction between a 5 d electron having e g or t 2 g crystal field symmetry and electrons in the ground multiplet of the 4 f n− 1 core.
