Abstract

The crystal field interaction is an essential ingredient in a discussion of the magnetic properties of materials. It is therefore important to be able to describe and characterize the bonding between the central magnetic ion and its (nonmagnetic) ligand ions in terms of some electronic theory. For such a procedure it is obvious to classify the central magnetic ions according to the character of the partly filled electronic shells giving rise to a permanent magnetic dipole moment due to the orbital motion of the electrons, or to their intrinsic spin, or to both.
