Abstract
Relations are derived by computer for spin Hamiltonian parameters for 3d4 and 3d6 ions using ALTRAN and the tensor method. Four orthorhombic cases are considered. Importance of D (λ3), D (λ4), E (λ3) and E (λ4) is verified. Differences between the previous and present results are discussed. An application to FeF2 is considered.
