Magnetic Circular Dichroism of Praseodymium Ethyl Sulfate and Praseodymium–Magnesium Double Nitrate

Abstract The magnetic circular dichroism of praseodymium ethyl sulfate and praseodymium–magnesium double nitrate was measured in the visible wave number region at low temperatures down to 17 K. Analysis was carried out for six absorption bands of praseodymium ethyl sulfate and three bands of praseodymium–magnesium double nitrate. With available information on energy levels., the g values of the crystal-field levels relevant to absorptions were derived from the MCD parameters obtained. These values are in good agreement with those from other methods.
