Zusammenfassung:Since the crystal field can be considered as a perturbation of the free ion spectra of actinide ions in certain crystals, energy levels and wave functions of the 5f(3) configuration were calculated, which is the ground configuration of U(3), in intermediate coupling for values of chi zeta/F2 of 7 to 11. Energy levels are given in units of F2, and wave functions are expressed as linear combinations of Russell Saunders functions. Hydrogenic and non-hydrogenic approximations are compared. Reduced matrix elements in intermediate coupling are given so that crystal field splittings may be calculated. The splittings of the two lowest levels of U(3) in a weak field with and without J-mixing are compared.
