Abstract
It is shown that covalency provides a negative contribution to the Delta A/sub /k parameters describing the relativistic crystal field (RCF). Estimates of the magnitude of this contribution have been made for Gd3+. The results show a reduction in the RCF contributions to the ground S-state splitting of Gd3+.Keywords
