2. Magnetism of rare earth ions The basic electronic
configurations of ,
,
and
are
,
,
and
respectively. (a) Determine the
ground state of these three ions with Hund's rule. (b) Assume
the same ion density n=N/V, compare the susceptibility of a
compound
to that of
at the same temperature.
(c) Assume the same ion density n=N/V, compare the susceptibility
of a
compound to that of
at
the same temperature. The g-factor is given by the Lande equation:
.
