About this document
Crystal Field Theory and Magnetic Properties by Kamleshkekane1 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses crystal field theory and its effects on rare earth elements. It notes that while large J values behave classically, the integer and half-integer nature leads to non-smooth behavior in low symmetry crystal fields. Specifically, integer J ions have finite Van Vleck susceptibility while half-integer J ions have diverging Curie susceptibility. The document also notes that in the absence of time reversal invariance, Kramers
