Spectroscopic Characteristics and Color Origin of Red Tourmaline from Brazil by Ming Li

“…The results showed that the red color was confirmed by the symmetric broad absorption at 527 nm and the narrow absorption at 400 and 450 nm, and the above three absorption bands were caused by the d-d electron transition of Mn3+, which occupied the Y site in the crystal structure and coordinated with F to form bonds. …”

Design of organic crystals with lone pairs to study spin resonance and spin-lattice interactions by Shilin Li, Xiangqian Lu, Wei Qin

“…In this work, nitrogen substitutions with nonequivalent hybridization are adopted to obtain different types of organic charge transfer crystals, where lone pairs are generated to weaken the interactions between donors and acceptors, resulting in a blueshift in photoluminescence and a weaker electron-lattice coupling. Moreover, lone pairs could further strengthen the ability to transfer energy and spin angular momentum to the lattice vibration to enhance spin resonance. …”
