The optical spectral band positions and spin-Hamiltonian parameters (g factors g‖, g⊥ and zero-field splitting D) of CdS : Ti 2+ and CdSe : Ti 2+ crystals are calculated from the complete diagonalizaion (of energy matrix) method based on a two-spin-orbit parameter model for 3d2 ions in trigonal symmetry. In the model, both the contribution to spin-Hamiltonian parameters due to the spin-orbit parameter of central 3d2 ions and that of ligand ions are included. The crystal field parameters used in the calculations are obtained from the superposition model which enables correlation of the optical and EPR spectral data with the defect structure of the studied paramagnetic impurity centers in crystals. From the calculations, the defect structures of Ti 2+ centers in CdS : Ti 2+ and CdSe : Ti 2+ are acquired, the signs of zero-field splittings D are suggested, and the optical band positions and spin-Hamiltonian parameters are explained. The results are discussed.

The EPR g factors g||, g⊥ and zero-field splitting D of trigonal Cr3+-M+ (M+ = Li+, Cu+, Na+) and Cr3+-VB-M3+ (M3+ = Cr3+, In3+, Sc3+, Y3+, Lu3+; VB denotes the B2+ vacancy) centers in some CsBX3 (B = Mg, Cd; X = Cl, Br) crystals are calculated from high-order perturbation formulas based on the two-spin-orbit coupling parameter model of the 3d3 ion in trigonal symmetry. From the calculations, these EPR parameters are reasonably explained and the local lattice distortions caused by the charge compensators M+ or VB are estimated. The results are discussed.

The spin Hamiltonian parameters (zero-field splitting D and the g factors) for NiX2 and CdX2:Ni2+ (X=Cl, Br) are quantitatively investigated from the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a 3d8 ion in trigonally distorted octahedra based on the cluster approach. In the calculations, the trigonal field parameters  and ′ are determined from the superposition model and the local structures of Ni2+ in the halides. The theoretical g factors show reasonable agreement with the observed values, and the experimental D for CdX2:Ni2+ are also interpreted by considering suitable lattice distortions (angular decreases) in the impurity-ligand bond angles related to the C3 axis due to the size mismatching substitution. The contributions from the ligand orbital and spin-orbit coupling interactions are important and should be taken into account.

AbstractBy using crystal field theory, the spin-Hamiltonian parameters [zero-field splitting D, the giromagnetic factors g (g|| and g⊥) and the first excited state splitting δ(2E)] for the CrLi3+ doped in LiNbO3 have been calculated from the higher-order perturbation formulas. The method used is based on the two-spin-orbit coupling parameter model, in a cluster approach. The g parameters were also calculated as a second derivative of the energy, method implemented into ORCA computer program. The results were discussed and good agreement with experimental data was demonstrated.

AbstractThe spin-Hamiltonian parameters (g factors g||, g⊥, and zero-field splittings b02 , b04 , b44 , b06 , b46 ) of the 4f7 Gd3+ ion in the tetragonal phase of a BaTiO3 crystal are calculated through the diagonalization (of energy matrix) method based on the one-electron crystal field mechanism. In the calculations, the crystal field parameters are estimated from the superposition model with the structural data of the studied crystal. It is found that by using three adjustable intrinsic parameters Āk(R0) (k=2, 4, 6) in the superposition model, the seven calculated spin-Hamiltonian parameters are in good agreement with the experimental values, suggesting that the diagonalization method based on one-electron crystal field mechanism is effective in the studies of spin-Hamiltonian parameters for 4f7 ions in crystals.

The local structure and the spin Hamiltonian parameters (the zero-field splitting D, the g factors g//, g⊥ and the hyperfine structure constants A// and A⊥) for the trigonal Mn 2+ center in Bi 4 Ge 3 O 12 are theoretically studied from the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a 3d5 ion in trigonal symmetry. The impurity Mn 2+ replacing host Bi 3+ is not found to occupy the exact Bi 3+ site but to suffer a large off-center displacement by about 0.36 Å towards the center of the oxygen octahedron along the C3-axis due to the size and charge mismatching substitution. The calculated spin Hamiltonian parameters based on the above displacement show good agreement with the observed values. The results and the mechanism of the impurity displacement are discussed.

The axial shift and the spin Hamiltonian parameters (zero-field splitting D, the g factors and the hyperfine structure constants A// and A) for Mn2+ in a CdS crystal are studied theoretically in this work. The calculations are carried out by using the perturbation formulae of these parameters for a 3d5 ion under trigonally distorted tetrahedra based upon the cluster approach, where the ligand orbital and spin-orbit coupling contributions are taken into account in a uniform way. From the studies, the impurity Mn2+ is found not to occupy the host Cd2+ site exactly but to experience a small outward shift of 0.018 Å away from the ligand triangle along the C3 axis. The above impurity axial shift leads to a much smaller trigonal distortion than the host Cd2+ site in CdS. The calculated spin Hamiltonian parameters are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data.

AbstractUnderstanding the quantum dynamics of spin defects and their coherence properties requires an accurate modeling of spin-spin interaction in solids and molecules, for example by using spin Hamiltonians with parameters obtained from first principles calculations. We present a real-space approach based on density functional theory for the calculation of spin-Hamiltonian parameters, where only selected atoms are treated at the all-electron level, while the rest of the system is described with the pseudopotential approximation. Our approach permits calculations for systems containing more than 1000 atoms, as demonstrated for defects in diamond and silicon carbide. We show that only a small number of atoms surrounding the defect needs to be treated at the all-electron level, in order to obtain an overall all-electron accuracy for hyperfine and zero-field splitting tensors. We also present results for coherence times, computed with the cluster correlation expansion method, highlighting the importance of accurate spin-Hamiltonian parameters for quantitative predictions of spin dynamics.

ESR spectrum of Fe+3 in topaz (Al2SiO4F2) has been investigated at X- and K-band frequencies. The spectrum, in addition to large zero-field splitting, also shows well-resolved h.f.s. due to 19F at some orientations. The spin-Hamiltonian parameters, which include b21 and b41, are given in the text. The spectrum has been interpreted to originate from Fe+3 impurity located at Al+3 sites. The implications of these results are considered briefly. The results of the analysis of the h.f.s. are to be published in the near future.
