Abstract

The energy levels of

{Fe}^{3 +}

{Al}_{2}

O_{3}

have been calculated. The eigenvalues were obtained by first calculating the matrix elements in the single-electron representation and then transforming the matrices into the

LS

representation. The resulting matrices were then diagonalized. The value of the crystalline field parameter

Dq

and the positions of the energy levels are found to be in good agreement with the experimental results of McClure.
