Abstract: | Recent results on the effect of magnetic field on the sound velocity V in aluminosilicate glasses doped with dysprosium are analyzed on the basis of a minimal model for the ground state of Dy3+ (Kramers ion with J=15/2) described by a wave function ϕ
± = ϕ

m + ηϕ
± 1/2. The first term represents a state with a large J projection on the local crystal field axis and the random parameter η(〈η〉=0, 〈η
2〉≪1) introduces a small admixture of the state ϕ
±1/2 into the ground state. The relative variation of V due to the resonance interaction of sound waves with this state split by H is determined as a function of H and T. It possesses a universal asymptotic behavior. Our results are in reasonable agreement with the experiment. A possible structure
of the crystal fields that can induce this state is discussed.
