Using the effective spin Hamiltonian formalism, crystal field calculations of the temperature dependent susceptibilities and the Schottky specific heat are performed over the temperature range 10 to 300 K besides the dipolar and quadrupolar transition probabilities of Nd 3+ PbMoO 4 and Nd 3+ CaWO 4 using different sets of known parameters. Two different methods are employed for the susceptibility calculations and the Curie‐Weiss law is checked. Emphasis is given of the effects of different sets of crystal field parameters.
