Gyromagnetic factors and spin-orbit coupling in ligand field theory

It has been customary to compute the effect of spin-orbit coupling on the magnetic properties of transition metal ions in crystals with the expression taken over from atomic spectroscopy, although this expression is valid only in a spherically symmetric field. In the present work, we show how the us...
