Until now we have used the 4f wave functions corresponding to the I J Jz representation to calculate the perturbing influence of the crystal field by means of the Hamiltonian given in Eq. . This means that we have tacitly assumed thatthe crystal-field interaction is small compared to the spin-orbit interaction introduced via the Russell-Saunders coupling and Hund s rules and that J and m are good quantum numbers. Before applying this crystalfield Hamiltonian to 3d wave functions we will first briefly review the relative magnitude of the energies involved in the formation of the electronic states. In the survey given below we have listed the order of magnitude of the crystal-field splitting relative to the energies involved with the Coulomb interaction between electrons as measured by the energy difference between terms and the LS coupling in various groups of materials comprising materials based on rare earths R and actinides A . The numbers listed are given per centimeter.

This then leads to the following sequences in energies For Fe-group materials crystal field LS coupling applied magnetic field For rare-earth-based materials LS coupling crystal field applied magnetic field. The physical reason for this difference in behavior is the following The 3d-electron-charge clouds reside more at the outside of the ions than the 4f-electron-charge clouds.
