Abstract

The splitting of the3H6 multiplet has been estimated for the Tm3+ ion in the crystal electric field of the orthorhombic TmCu2 compound. Using the energy levels and appropriate eigenfunctions the crystal field only susceptibility has been calculated along the principal orthorhombic axes at temperatures 10 to 300 K. The obtained results are compared with our measurements of specific heat and paramagnetic susceptibility on polycrystalline sample.
