Abstract

A model is presented that successfully predicts electro-optical properties of Lanthanide materials, irrespective whether these materials are inorganic or organic, diluted or concentrated, metallic, semi-conducting or insulating. The model is firmly based on recent experimental data revealing that the variation in 4f and 5d energies relative to the valence band over the Ln series (La, Ce, Pr,.. ,Lu) is universal. Application to LnS and the oxides LnO, Ln₂O₃ and LnO₂ demonstrates its potential by correctly predicting the ground state electron configuration, metallic, insulating or semi-conducting behavior, Ln ion valence state and band-gap of these model Ln systems.
