Theoretical Interpretation of the Even Levels in the First Spectrum of Tungsten
Abstract:
The calculated even levels of W i up to the height of about 40,000 cm-1, which is the height of the ground level of the d 6 configuration, are reported. Fifty-seven observed levels are fitted to them, with a mean error of 100 cm-1. L-S coupling and configuration assignments are usually meaningless because of a very strong spin-orbit interaction and configuration interaction. For every level, the largest squared L-S coupling components of its eigenvector are reported, as well as observed and calculated g-values.

Energy Bands in Solids
Band Formation:
When atoms are brought close together, as in a solid, these discrete energy levels begin to split due to the overlap of electron orbitals from adjacent atoms. This split occurs because of the Pauli exclusion principle, which states...
