For a description of the Au–Fe complex which is discussed in Part I of this article, a model by Ludwig and Woodbury is adopted. This model does not allow for an analysis of the observed hyperfine interactions in a simple LCAO description. Instead a model of exchange coupled spins is proposed. The calculated actual hyperfine interactions are compared with data of atomic wave functions for Au and Fe. Due to covalency and/or hybridization effects the quantities 〈 r −3 〉d which characterize the d‐orbitals on the Fe and Au atoms are considerably reduced in silicon with respect to the free atoms. As a result, the s‐core polarization effects which determine the isotropic hyperfine interactions are found to be weaker in a silicon matrix than in most other materials.
