Summary
This book, first published in 2000, is based on the modern conceptual understanding of crystal fields. It provides readers with clear instructions for the analysis of energy spectra of magnetic ions in solids. It will be of interest to graduate students and researchers working in the development of opto-electronic systems and magnetic materials.
