There have been many demonstrations, particularly for magnetic impurity ions in crystals, that spin-Hamiltonians are able to account for a wide range of experimental results in terms of much smaller numbers of parameters. Yet they were originally derived from crystal field theory, which contains a logical flaw; electrons on the magnetic ions are distinguished from those on the ligands. Thus there is a challenge: to replace crystal field theory with one of equal or greater predictive power that is based on a surer footing. The theory developed in this book begins with a generic Hamiltonian, one that is common to ... Read more

Reviews for Magnetic Ions in Crystals
"This is a theoretical treatment of the properties of magnetic ions in crystals. The author's challenge is to derive an effective operator of the spin-Hamiltonian form from the generic Hamiltonian of a non-magnetic crystal containing one magnetic ion."
