摘要
M. Prager et al. have shown by inelastic neutron scattering that the methane molecules dispersed in solid argon have two sites. It is inferred that the tetrahedral molecule receives not only the octahedral field at one site but the tetrahedral field at the other site. The latter field may be contributed from hcp structure in host atoms. The crystal field analysis is made in 3rd, 4th, and 6th orders using the conventional atom-atom potentials. It is concluded that C3v configuration is dominant in fcc lattice while Td one in hcp lattice. In addition, rotational energy levels are computed in terms of the estimated field parameters. The result is compatible with the observed neutron scattering spectra. © 1990, THE PHYSICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN. All rights reserved.
