Crystal Field Effects: 4f Orbitals

Description

This lecture explores the crystal field effects on 4f states, focusing on the J = L + S scheme for 4f ions. The shielding of 4f electrons from the crystal-field potential is analyzed in terms of the total number of electrons being odd or even, with a detailed examination of the energy differences. The presentation also covers the impact of Kramer's theorem on the degeneracy of the states and the possible magnetic ground states.
