Significance of the term Dq
The term Dq is the product of two terms D and q (Differential of quanta
implying the energy) required in the quantitative treatment of CFT to describe
the Hamiltonian operator of the system. Thus D and q are the potential energy
terms and in the octahedral crystal field, these are given by:
D = 35ze/4a5 and q = 2er4/105
i.e., Dq = ze2r4 / 6a5
