The magnetic circular dichroism of the K‐band in the alkali halides RbCl, RbBr, RbI, KCl, KBr, and KI has been measured at temperatures between 4.2 and 77 °K. The magnetic field up to 50 kG was produced by a superconducting solenoid. We interpret the experimental results using the method of moments. The spin‐orbit splitting and the orbital g ‐factors of the excited states due to the K‐band are determined. Furthermore we obtain matrix elements describing the mixture of the excited states giving rise to F‐and K‐bands. In accordance with calculations of Smith [15] the measurements confirm the Mott‐Gurney model, which attributes the K‐band mainly to 1s‐3p transitions.
