Method for assigning satellite lines to crystallographic sites in rare-earth crystals

We describe an experimental technique for associating the satellite lines in a rare-earth optical spectrum caused by a defect with the rare-earth ions in crystal sites around that defect. This method involves measuring the hyperfine splitting caused by a magnetic dipole-dipole interaction between host ions and a magnetic defect. The …
