“…The CFPs obtained in that way have served as input for the modeling of the ZFSPs D and E for Ni 2 þ ions in Y 2 BaNiO 5 utilizing the MSH expressions [23] and the modified CFA/MSH approach (for references, see, [18]). Since the module MSH available within the package CFA is applicable only for axial symmetry, in order to extract the effective ZFSPs from the physical ZFS energy levels, the microscopic expressions suitable for the orthorhombic ZFSPs have been developed in [18]. This version of the approach (ii) is denoted below as CFA þ MSH to distinguish it from the direct CFA/MSH approach [18].…”
