    Abstract

    The structure of the 7F05D5 0 transition of Eu3+ in EuCl3 ·6H 2O is investigated in crystals with three different isotopic compositions [natural abundance (0.2% 18O, 0.01% 2H), 1.9% 18O, and 0.06% 2H]. Raman-heterodyne-detected NMR is used to identify shifts caused by isotopes of the ligands O and H in sites neighboring the Eu site in the lattice. The structure of the 7F 05D50 transition is explained as a combination of the hyperfine structure of 151Eu and 153Eu and isotope shifts caused by Cl, O, and H.
