The perturbation formulas of the EPR g factors for a 4f3 ion in orthorhombic symmetry are established, by considering the contributions from the admixtures of various states. The formulas are applied to the studies of the g factors for the orthorhombic NdBa 2 Cu 3 O 7. The related crystal-field parameters in the calculations are obtained from the superposition model and the local structural data of the orthorhombic Nd 3+ site in NdBa 2 Cu 3 O 7. The calculated g factors are in reasonable agreement with the observed values. The theoretical results are discussed.

The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) g factors g‖ and g⊥ for Er3+ in CaMoO4 are theoretically investigated by using the perturbation formulas of the g factors for a 4f11 ion in tetragonal symmetry. In these formulas, the contributions to the g factors arising from the second-order perturbation terms and the admixture of various states are considered. The crystal-field parameters for the tetragonally distorted tetrahedra are determined by using the superposition model and the structural data of the impurity Er3+ on the host Ca2+ site in CaMoO4. The calculated g factors agree with the observed values. The validity of the results is discussed.

In this work, the spin Hamiltonian (SH) parameters g|| and g⊥, and the hyperfine structure constants A|| and A⊥ for ZrSiO4:Np4+ are investigated on the basis of the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a 5f3 ion in tetragonal (D2d) symmetry. In these formulas, the contributions to the SH parameters from the second-order perturbation terms, the admixtures of various energy levels and the covalency effect are taken into account. The related crystal-field parameters are calculated from the superposition model and the local structural data of the Zr4+ site occupied by the impurity Np4+. The calculated SH parameters agree reasonably with the experimental data. The validity of the theoretical results is discussed.

The perturbation formulae of EPR parameters g factors gx, gyand gzfor the lowest Kramers doublet of 4f1ion in orthorhombic symmetry are established. In these formulae, the contributions of the covalency effects, the admixture between J=7/2 and J=5/2 states as well as the second-order perturbation (which is not considered in the previous works) via crystal-field and orbital angular momentum interactions are all included. According to these formulae, and by using the superposition model, the g-factors gx, gyand gzfor Ce3+center in YBa2Cu3O6+ xsuperconductor are calculated. The results are discussed.

The EPR g factors g // and g ⊥ for the six-coordinated Cu 2+(1) site in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 6+x are theoretically investigated from the perturbation formulas for a 3 d 9 ion in tetragonally elongated octahedra. The related tetragonal crystal-field parameters Ds and Dt are determined from the superposition model and the structural data for the Cu 2+(1) site, by considering the effective elongation of the oxygen octahedron due to the Jahn-Teller effect of the Cu 2+ cluster. Based on the calculations, the effective elongation (≈ 15%) of the ligand octahedron is obtained for the signals at 100K. As for the EPR signals at room temperature, the elongation declines to merely 4%, corresponding to the smaller anisotropy Δ g (= g // - g ⊥). The theoretical results for the g factors are in good agreement with the observed values, and the local tetragonal distortion due to the Jahn-Teller effect is discussed.

The gyromagnetic factors for Nd3+ in scheelite-type ABO4 compounds (A = Cd, Ca, Pb, Ba;B = Mo, W) are theoretically studied by the perturbation formulas of the anisotropic g factors g∥ and g⊥ for a 4f3 ion in tetragonal symmetry. In these formulas, the contributions to the g factorsdue to the second-order perturbation terms and the admixtures of various energy levels are takeninto account. The relevant crystal-field parameters are determined by the superposition model andthe local geometrical relationship of the A2+ sites occupied by the impurity Nd3+. The obtained gfactors agree reasonably with the observed values. The discrepancies between theory and experimentare discussed.

The EPR g factors g‖, g⊥ for Yb3+ in YBa2Cu3O7−δ are studied with perturbation formulas based on the cluster approach of the spin-Hamiltonian parameters for a 4f13 ion in tetragonal symmetry. In these formulas, the contributions to the EPR parameters of the covalency effects, the admixture between the J = 7/2 and J = 5/2 states and the second-order perturbation terms are all included. The used crystal-field parameters are calculated with the superposition model and the local structural data of Yb3+ in YBa2Cu3O7−δ . The resulting EPR g factors for Yb3+ ions in the superconductor YBa2Cu3O7−δ agree reasonably with the experimental values. The results are discussed.

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.

Abstract The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters (g factor g i , and hyperfine structure constants A i , with i = x, y, z) and local structures for Cu2+ centers in M2Zn(SO4)2·6H2O (M = NH4 and Rb) are theoretically investigated using the high order perturbation formulas of these EPR parameters for a 3d 9 ion under orthorhombically elongated octahedra. In the calculations, contribution to these EPR parameters due to the admixture of d-orbitals in the ground state wave function of the Cu2+ ion are taken into account based on the cluster approach, and the required crystal-field parameters are estimated from the superposition model which enables correlation of the crystal-field parameters and hence the studied EPR parameters with the local structures of the Cu2+ centers. Based on the calculations, the Cu–H2O bonds are found to suffer the axial elongation ratio δ of about 3 and 2.9% along the z-axis, meanwhile, the planar bond lengths may experience variation ratio τ (≈3.8 and 1%) along x- and y-axis for Cu2+ center in (NH4)2Zn(SO4)2·6H2O and Rb2Zn(SO4)2·6H2O, respectively. The theoretical results show good agreement with the observed values.

The local structure and the g factors for the orthorhombic Ti3+center in YAP are theoretically studied from the perturbation formulas of the g factors gx, gyand gzfor a 3d1ion in orthorhombic symmetry based on the cluster approach. The observed large anisotropy of the g factors may be attributed to the significant low-symmetrical (tetragonal and orthorhombic) distortion near the Al3+site occupied by the impurity Ti3+. The calculated g factors in this work show reasonable agreement with the experimental data.
