Abstract
Crystal field (CF) parameters and zero field splitting (ZFS) parameters of Mn2+ doped β-Ga2O3 single crystals are obtained
using the superposition model (SPM) and perturbation theory. The determined ZFS parameters show good agreement with
the experimental values suggesting that the Mn2+ ion substitutes at Ga
3+
site in β-Ga2O3 single crystal. The CF energy
levels of the Mn2+ ion computed by diagonalizing the complete Hamiltonian are in reasonable agreement with the
experimental values. The approach used may be applied for the modeling of other ion-host systems to explore the crystals
for scientific and industrial applications.
