Abstract
Spin—orbit splitting of the first excited state of the F center is estimated in the simple effective‐mass approximation. The splitting due to the outermost s orbitals of the atoms neighboring the vacancy in the crystal is related to the splitting of the p state in the free atom. As an example, spin—orbit splitting of the F center in cesium halides is estimated. It is found to 4‐to‐6 orders of magnitude too small to account for the structure observed in the F‐center absorption band in cesium halides.Keywords
