“…[12]) and in Mn 4+ -doped gadolinium gallium garnet [13] with decrease of the interelectronic repulsion (Racah parameters B and C) and of the crystal-field parameters [14,15]. The pressureinduced line shifts for the 5 D J -7 F J electronic transitions in the system under study, SrFCl:Sm 2+ , were interpreted [16,17] in the molecular orbital approximation, taking into account the contributions from the point charge, charge penetration, exchange, overlap and covalency effects responsible for changes in the crystal-field parameters under pressure.…”
