Abstract
It is suggested that the observed lowering of the spinorbit parameters in transition-ion complexes is caused by a screening effect which expands the 3d wave functions. Evidence in support of this suggestion is given by neutron diffraction form-factor measurements on Mn/sup 2+/ salts. The theory of the transferred hyperfine interaction between the electron spin of Mn/sup 2+/ and surrounding F/sup 19/ nuclei is discussed, and the complications introduced into the theory when dealing with other ions are described. The theory is found to be unsatisfactory because it is not possible to treat the interaction via the is orbitals of F/sup -/ with sufficient accuracy. (auth)
