We have succeeded in evaluating mathematically the relative magnitude of lanthanide tetrad effects for four subgroups of lanthanides. Our new mathematical method was applied to two kinds of data; (1) the results secured by water-rock interaction in the laboratory and (2) the data on a ground water running from cracks of rock wall in a tunnel as well as a probably related granitic rock. The resultant numerical values of quadratic coefficients pertaining to the tetrad phenomenon are expected to be of importance.
Further, a new simple model accountable for the tetrad phenomenon observed in a variety of physical and chemical phases is proposed about the 4felectron configuration. It will also give any clue or impetus to a wide scope of sciences ranging from quantum mechanics to geological sciences.
