摘要： An iterative method is used to find the values of the Hamiltonian parameters for Yb3+ in a given low-symmetry crystalline site. Samples of Yb3+:RETaO4 (RE=Gd, Y, and Sc) were prepared and their structures were determined. Based on the obtained structure data, their orbital-spin parameters and crystal field parameters were fitted by the superposition model (SM). Using the crystal field parameters obtained by the SM fitting as the initial parameters, the Hamiltonian parameters were fitted iteratively. The calculated and experimental energy levels for Yb3+:RETaO4 are consistent, and the maximal mean-root-square deviation is only 2.84 cm-1, indicating that the method is effective to determine the Hamiltonian parameters of Yb3+ in low-symmetry crystalline sites.
