Abstract
The F+ center in CaO consists of an electron trapped in an oxygen vacancy. The interaction between the electron and the even normal modes of the surrounding octahedron of calcium ions can be represented by an approximate Hamiltonian possessing an oscillator term of U(5) symmetry and an interaction term of O(3) symmetry. To separate repeated angular-momentum quantum numbers L in the symmetric irreducible representations of O(5), four independent methods have been studied.A remarkable coalescence of these approaches in the case of L=6 suggests a natural way to make the separation.
