Solid State Textbook on crystal field theory and degeneracy breaking

[vancouver_water]

In particular I would like to have a resource for the relation between group theory, crystal field symmetries and breaking of degeneracies of orbitals.

I've taken a graduate condensed matter course and graduate quantum mechanics courses. I have some basic knowledge of group theory but can learn what I need if the book has more group theory pre requisites.

Thanks

I don’t know if you need a whole book on it. The basics can be found in pretty much any decent inorganic chemistry book. Albert Cotton’s “Chemical Applications of Group Theory” goes into somewhat more depth.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out.
