Abstract
Excitation spectra of (Nd
3+, Cr
3+)YAlO
3 are presented which show anomalous profiles. We demonstrate that these anomalous lineshapes can be explained by a combination
of three physical mechanisms: the existence of several inequivalent Nd sites, the existence of significant energy transfer
from Cr
3+ to Nd
3+ and strong absorption of the excitation beam by Nd
3+ ions. Reasons for residual asymmetry in excitation profiles are discussed with particular emphasis on a Fano effect.
