Judd–Ofelt theory
Judd–Ofelt theory is a theory in physical chemistry describing the intensity of electron transitions within the 4f shell of rare-earth ions in solids and solutions.[1][2]
The theory was introduced independently in 1962 by Brian R. Judd of the University of California, Berkeley, and PhD candidate George S. Ofelt at Johns Hopkins University.[2] Their work was published in Physical Review and the Journal of Chemical Physics, respectively.[1][3] Judd and Ofelt did not meet, however, until 2003 at a workshop in Lądek-Zdrój, Poland.[1]
Judd and Ofelt's work was cited approximately 2000 times between 1962 and 2004.[1] Brian M. Walsh of NASA Langley places Judd and Ofelt's theory at the "forefront" of a 1960s revolution in spectroscopic research on rare earth ions.[2]
