The problem of Knight shifts in samarium intermetallic compounds is investigated using a density matrix perturbational approach, which takes into account the strong admixing between the J=<sup>5</sup>/<sub>2</sub> and <sup>7</sup>/<sub>2</sub> levels of the Sm<sup>3+</sup> ion. Particular attention is paid to the effects of crystal fields on the White-Van Vleck crossover temperature T<sub>CO</sub>, and explicit expressions are given for the shifts in T<sub>CO</sub>, induced by hexagonal and cubic crystal fields, correct to (B<sub>n</sub><sup>m</sup>/kT)<sup>2</sup>. It is shown that whereas quadratic crystal fields can either raise of lower T<sub>CO</sub>, depending on the direction of the applied field B, cubic crystal fields always act so as to lower the White-Van Vleck crossover temperature. In addition, a method is suggested for the determination of both the bare conduction electron Knight shift parameter K<sub>0</sub> and the crystal-field coefficient B<sub>20</sub> in hexagonal compounds, which does not involve additional measurements on isostructural compounds containing lanthanum. |
