1s2p RIXS Calculations for 3d Transition Metal Ions in Octahedral Symmetry

Table 2

Branching of the , , and atomic terms in an octahedral crystal field () [28] (p.262). The first columns can be either the orbital momentum, the total spin , or the total angular momentum . The g for gerade and the u for ungerade must be added to indicate the parity.
