Zero-Field Splittings of Cm3+ and Am2+ in Fluorite Type Crystals

Abstract
The Γ6—Γ8 energy level splittings were derived for Cm3+ and Am2+ in several fluorite type crystals from measurements of the anisotropy of the g value of the Γ6 state at 35 GHz. Anisotropy measurements were also made of the g value of the excited Γ7 state for Cm3+ in SrCl2, and the Γ8—Γ7 splitting was obtained.
