Abstract
The trigonal field and spin-orbit interaction matrices for the d 2 configuration have been calculated in the 'strong field' scheme, using the irreducible tensor operators of the site symmetry group. These matrices were used to calculate the energy levels of V3+ ion in a alpha -Al2O3 (corundum) in the intermediate coupling scheme. The effective Hamiltonian appropriate to the T1 manifold was used to calculate the value of g/sub /// and gperpendicular to. Analytical expressions for the trigonal field splitting of the t 223T1 term, the ground state 3A2 splitting under the combined effect of the trigonal field and the spin-orbit interaction, g/sub /// and gperpendicular to have been obtained.
