The crystal field splittings in CaF 2 :Tm 2+ were calculated within the framework of the complex (TmF 8 ) 6− . By separating the overlap from covalent contributions, the overlap effects were found to dominate. It is shown that ligand‐ligand overlap effects are important. On the contrary, the role of 5s 2 5p 6 ligand overlap is fairly small. Satisfactory agreement between the values of the splittings calculated and the observed ones is obtained.
