摘要
We constructed an effective one-electron Hamiltonian by using the 4f/5d energies and eigenvectors obtained from the first-principles calculation with the relativistic self-consistent discrete variational Slater software package （DV-Xα）. From the effective Hamiltonian, we obtained the crystal-field and spin-orbit interaction parameters for the 4f and 5d electrons of lanthanide ions （Ce^3＋, Pr^3＋, Nd^3＋ and Eu^3＋） doped in YPO4, and these parameters were used to calculate the 4fN-4fN- 15d transition. Comparison with experiments shows that the obtained parameters are reasonable and the excitation spectra can be well predicted.
