I've been introduced to ligand-field theory lately and was then wondering what roles f orbitals play in the magnetic properties of elements and alloys. Apparently f orbitals behave oddly in that they hybridize in weird ways because they're so large and that the crystal field actually affects the anisotropy of the f orbitals.
Are there any resources that I can use to read up on this? Or would a Fermi energy approach be better for a study on magnetism?
Thanks,
L
