Optical spectroscopy of ErFe3(BO3)4: detection of phase transitions and crystal-field levels of the Er3+ ground multiplet

High-resolution spectra of oriented ErFe3(BO3)4 single crystals are registered in the spectral range 500 – 8000 cm-1 at various temperatures (4 – 470 K). The temperature behaviour of the phonon mode at 976 cm-1 allowed us to register a structural phase transition at TS=431 K. The energies of crystal...
