Abstract
The results of least‐squares fits of the energy levels of Pr3+ in crystalline LaF3, are reported. Especially, by carrying out a 23‐variable fit involving the crystal field parameters as well as the free‐ion parameters, second‐order effects due to J‐mixing are taken into account. From testing the resulting energies and eigenfunctions by inelastic neutron scattering experiments the reported crystal field parameters are expected to describe the physics of Pr3+ in LaF3 sufficiently well.Keywords
