Empirical Relationship between the Excitation Energy of the F-band and Physical Constants for Alkali Halides

Nature volume 177, page 241 (1956)Cite this article

Abstract

THE excitation energy for a 1s − 2p transition in an electron associated with a hydrogen-type impurity embedded in a dielectric medium with high-frequency constant K0 is where R is the Bohr radius, 0.529 A.
