Lectures on Crystal Field Theory

This report covers a series of lectures given from November 2 through December 2, 1981. The early work done at the Harry Diamond Laboratories HDL and the motivation for that work is given in the first lecture. Later lectures cover work done at HDL in the recent past as well as ongoing research. These latter lectures are interspersed with lectures which are intended to familiarize the audience with the notation employed at HDL. The last few lectures contain matter under investigation presently at HDL and other laboratories in the U.S. and Europe.
