Abstract
An attempt to reformulate and extend the method given by HSS (C. H. Henry, S. E. Schnattely, and C. P. Slichter: Phys. Rev. 137 (1965) A583) is made. The unperturbed electronic Hamiltonian H 0 responsible for the absorption lines is chosen only under the condition that its solution has many degenerate levels. Using the perturbation theory, the moments are calculated up to the third order in the perturbing Hamiltonian H 1 , in contrast to the first order in the HSS's theory. Since the spin-orbit interaction H S O may be contained in H 0 or H 1 , the obtained formulae of moments are applicable to many kinds of systems, although the HSS's treatment is restricted to the systems in which H S O is regarded as the perturbation. The results are applied to the absorption bands of the alkali halide phosphors containing heavy-metal ions with ( s ) 2 configuration, and the method to determine the values of energy parameters for these ions is discussed.
