PyCrystalField is a Python software package for calculating single-ion crystal electric field (CEF) Hamiltonians. This software can calculate a CEF Hamiltonian ab initio from a point charge model for any transition or rare earth ion in either the J basis or the LS basis, perform symmetry analysis to identify nonzero CEF parameters, calculate the energy spectrum and observables such as neutron spectrum and magnetization, and fit CEF Hamiltonians to any experimental data. The theory, implementation and examples of its use are discussed.

The EPR-parameters of Eu2+ substituted for Cd2+ in CdF2 have been measured at 300, 77 and 1,5°K. They are summarized in Table 1. The EPR spectrum is that of an S-state-ion in a cubic environment. As with Eu2+ inCaF2, SrF2 or BaF2 there is in CdF2 a superhyperfine (SHF) -interaction between the Eu2+- and F–-ions, which results mostly in an inhomogeneous broadening of the lines but sometimes in CdF2 in a splitting. There are some indications that the point charge model is not fully correct and that a slight deviation from the cubic environment does exist.

The magnitude of the valence force constants is discussed in terms of the polarization of the static electron distribution.
