Symmetry - CF Local Point Symmetry limits the number of nonzero Crystal Field Parameters (mind: local symmetry at rare earth position may be lower than lattice symmetry, i.e. The lattice may be cubic, but the local symmetry tetragonal)
Example: 2nd order CF terms for point symmetry mm2=C2v We choose here the basis of Racah instead of Stevens operators for the Crystal field, because these transform like the spherical harmonic functions Group elements G Irr. Repr. These operators form a reducable representation T2(G) of the point group Character table of mm2 Group Theory basics taken from: Elliott&Dawber Symmetry in Physics, McMillan Press, 1979 Martin Rotter - McPhase Course TU Dresden 2005
The representation T2(G) can be decomposed into irreducible Representations (i.e. „the Olm can be linear combined to another Basis so that in this basis the representation T2 bas block diagonal form with each block corresponding to a irreducible representation“) The m‘s tell, how often a representation occurs. mA1 tells, how often the unit representation occurs in the decomposition, i.e. how many different independent basis vectors span this subspace, i.e. how many independent crystal field parameters will occur. A little group theoretical trick for calculating m Cp... Number of members of class p g.... Number of group elements χ.... Character of class a... Angle of rotation i.e. We expect 2 independent 2nd order CF parameters Martin Rotter - McPhase Course TU Dresden 2005
The basis of the 2 A1 representation occuring in the decomposition of T2(G) can be found using the projection operator In order to calculate it, we have to epxlicitely write down the reducable representation T2: Jx‘=-Jx, Jy‘=-Jy Jy‘=-Jy Jx‘=-Jx B20 and B22 are nonzero.
