Abstract

The operator form for the linear and quadratic Jahn—Teller effect in octahedrally coordinated Cu^{+ +} is derived by consideration of the simultaneous effect of three tetragonal distortions. This leads to the same result as found by Liehr and Ballhausen, but in fewer steps. The final form of the operator is independent of the choice of phase of symmetrized distortion coordinates.
