Single-Ion Behavior in New 2-D and 3-D Gadolinium 4f7 Materials: CsGd(SO4)2 and Cs[Gd(H2O)3(SO4)2]·H2O
{{output}}
The recent creation of 4f7 gadolinium materials has enabled vital studies of the free-ion properties of the Gd(III) cations. While the 8 S ground state in a trivalent Gd compound is, in principle, isotropic, it has been demonstrated that there is a residual or... ...
