title: On the character of the optical transitions in closed-shell transition metal oxides doped with Bi3.
abstract: A criterion is introduced to achieve the assignment of the optical features observed in the excitation spectra of Bi3+ions incorporated in closed-shell transition metal oxides. The model is based on the calculation of the energy associated with the lowest1S0→3P1intra-ionic transition of Bi3+(A-like transition), the metal-to-metal charge transfer (D-like transition) and the Stokes shift of the corresponding emission.
