The relationship between the energy total splitting ΔE of the free‐ion electron states in the axial crystal‐fields and the second moment of that splitting σ2 is thoroughly investigated. The non‐Kramers and Kramers states with the quantum number 1 ≤ J ≤ 8 in the axial crystal‐fields of any multipolar...
