16. ′. The number of combination coefficients is directly given by the T d multiplication table. In the O h group, an additional selection rule plays: any coefficient becomes zero as soon as products of type u u u or u g g occur in the expectation value of the Hamiltonian term.
17. Strictly, involved parameters, e.g., P, differ from the reduced matrix elements (Ref.). Prefactors are included.

26. In Ref. 4, the four coefficients a 12, b 12, c 12, d 12 are not linearly independent. Only two parameters, respectively, a and e, are needed to account for the strain coupling H ε in between E states.

32. The ZnO compound belongs to the II-VI semiconductor type and crystallizes in both zincblende and wurtzite structures. In the latter, the three space directions are no longer equivalent: the T 2 representation of T d splits into two representations, A 1 and E 1 of the C 6 v point group, E 1 / 2 and E 1 / 2 E 3 / 2 in the double group (Ref.) with corresponding crystal-field and spin-orbit splittings.
