Abstract

The structure of the ⁷F₀ → ⁵D5 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 ₀ → ⁵D5₀ transition is explained as a combination of the hyperfine structure of ¹⁵¹Eu and ¹⁵³Eu and isotope shifts caused by Cl, O, and H.
