Abstract
"The valence state and coordination site of the transition-metal ion, chromium, was investigated in a MgO host lattice. The chromium ion incorporated into poly-crystalline MgO by quenching from elevated temperatures allowed investigation of a single crystalline phase, MgO-solid solution (ss). The chromium ion was confirmed to occur in the trivalent state and to occupy octahedral cation sites in the MgO lattice by the use of optical reflectance spectroscopy. The effect of the concentration of the chromium ion on the crystal field splitting energy, 10 Dq, permitted analysis over a range of Dq/B values. In conjunction, MgO-ss lattice parameters examined as a function of chromium ion concentration contributed to the interpretation of the relation between the lattice parameter and crystal field strength"--Abstract, page iii.
