Study of Crystal Field Energy Levels and Zero Field Splitting Parameters of Mn2+: NiK2 (SO4)2 • 6H2O Single Crystals

Using the superposition model (SPM), the crystal field (CF) and zero field splitting (ZFS) properties of Mn2+ doped Ni K2 (SO4)2.6H2O (NKS) single crystals are analyzed.The ZFS parameter values thus found are in good agreement with the EPR experiment.CF energy levelsof Mn2+: NKS crystals are computed using the crystal field analysis (CFA) package.The majority of the computed and observed energy values correlate rather well. Thus, the theoretical finding verifies the experimental results.
