The local structure and the EPR parameters (g factors and the hyperfine structure constants) for Cu2+in GaN are theoretically studied from the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a 3d9ion in trigonally distorted tetrahedra. In these formulas, the ligand orbital and spin-orbit coupling contributions are taken into account from the cluster approach, in view of the strong covalency effect of the system. Based on the studies, the impurity Cu2+is found not to occupy exactly the host Ga3+site but to suffer a slight displacement (≈ 0.004 Å ) towards the ligand triangle along C3axis due to charge and size mismatching substitution. The theoretical EPR parameters show good agreement with the experimental data. The validity of the impurity displacement is also discussed.

The EPR parameters and the local structure for Co2+ in ZnO are deduced from the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a 3d7 ion in a trigonally distorted tetrahedron. The ligand orbital and spin-orbit coupling contributions are taken into account uniformly from the cluster approach in view of the covalency of the system. The impurity V3+ is found not to locate exactly on the Zn2+ site but to experience a small displacement of 0.04 Ǻ away from the ligand triangle, along the C3 axis. The theoretical EPR parameters based upon the above impurity displacement are in good agreement with the observed values.

The anisotropic [Formula: see text] factors of the deoxygenated YBaCuO (Y123) are theoretically studied using the perturbation formulas of the [Formula: see text] factors for a tetragonally elongated octahedral [Formula: see text] cluster. The ligand orbital and spin-orbit coupling contributions are included from the cluster approach in view of covalency. The calculated [Formula: see text] factors show good agreement with the experimental data. The anisotropy of the [Formula: see text] factors is analyzed by considering the local tetragonal elongation distortion around this five-fold coordinated [Formula: see text] site in the deoxygenated Y123 system.

The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters g factor and the hyperfine structure constant A factor for the substitutional Rh+ in NaCl are theoretically studied from the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a 4d8 ion in cubic octahedra. In these formulas, the ligand orbital and spin-orbit coupling contributions which were normally omitted in the previous studies are taken into account using the cluster approach. The calculated g and A factors are in good agreement with the experimental data. The ligand contributions to the EPR parameters are somewhat important and should be considered in the analysis of the EPR spectra for a 4d8 ion in chlorides. The local structure of this center is also discussed.

AbstractThe electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters [i.e. g factors gi (i=x, y, z) and hyperfine structure constants Ai] and the local lattice structure for the Cu2+ centre in Tl2Zn(SO4)2·6H2O (TZSH) crystal were theoretically investigated by utilising the perturbation formulae of these parameters for a 3d9 ion under rhombically elongated octahedra. In the calculations, the admixture of d orbitals in the ground state and the ligand orbital and spin-orbit coupling interactions are taken into account based on the cluster approach. The theoretical EPR parameters show good agreement with the observed values, and the Cu2+–H2O bond lengths are obtained as follows: Rx≈1.98 Å, Ry≈2.09 Å, Rz≈2.32 Å. The results are discussed.

The spin Hamiltonian parameters g‖ and g⊥ and the hyperfine structure constants A‖ and A⊥ of a tetragonal VO2+ center in (NH4)2SbCl5 are investigated, using the perturbation formulas for a 3d1 ion in tetragonally compressed octahedra. In these formulas, the contributions to the spin Hamiltonian parameters from the s- and p-orbitals as well as the spin-orbit coupling coefficient of the Cl− ligand are taken into account, based on the cluster approach. According to these studies, compression of the ligand octahedra results from the strong axial crystal-fields due to the short V4+-O2− bond in the [VOCl4]2− cluster. The obtained spin Hamiltonian parameters agree well with the experimental data and need fewer adjustable parameters than the previous studies. The covalency of the studied system is also discussed.

The EPR g factors g// and g and the hyperfine structure constants for one substitutional Cu2+ center in CdS are theoretically investigated from the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a 3d9 ion under trigonally distorted tetrahedra. In view of the significant covalency of the [CuS4]6 cluster, the ligand contributions are taken into account on the basis of the cluster approach. According to the calculations, the impurity Cu2+ is found not to occupy exactly the ideal Cd2+ site but to suffer a small inward displacement 0.12 Å toward the ligand triangle along C3 axis. The theoretical results by considering the above impurity displacement show reasonable agreement with the experimental data. The defect structure of this Cu2+ center is also discussed.

The EPR parameters (zero-field splitting D and g factors gII, g⊥) of Co2+ ions in CdS and CdSe semiconductors are calculated from the high-order perturbation formulas based on the cluster approach for a 3d7 ion in trigonal symmetry. These formulas include the contribution to the EPR parameters from both the spin-orbit coupling parameter of the 3d7 ion and that of the ligand. From the calculations, the local atom-position parameters u (which are different from the corresponding values in the host crystals) for the Co2+ impurity centers in both semiconductors are estimated. The results are discussed

The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters g and the hyperfine structure constants A of Co2+ in ZnX (X = S, Se, Te) and CdTe are studied, using the perturbation formulas of the EPR parameters for a 3d7 ion in tetrahedra based on two mechanism models. In these formulas, both the contributions from the conventional crystal-field (CF) mechanism and those from the charge-transfer (CT) mechanism are taken into account. According to the investigations, the sign of the g-shift ΔgCT from the CT mechanism is the same as ΔgCF from the CF mechanism, whereas the contributions to the A value from the CF and CT mechanisms have opposite signs. Particularly, the contributions to the EPR parameters from the CT mechanism increase rapidly with increase of the spin-orbit coupling coefficient of the ligand and the covalency effect of the systems, i. e. S2− < Se2− < Te2−.

The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters (g factors g∥, g⊥and hyperfine structure constants A∥, A⊥) and the local structure of the tetragonal Cu2+center in trigonal ZnSeF6·6H2O crystal are theoretically investigated from the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a 3d9ion in tetragonally elongated octahedra. In the calculated formulas, the contributions to the EPR parameters from ligand orbital and spin–orbit coupling are included on the basis of the cluster approach in view of moderate covalency of the studied systems, the required crystal-field parameters are estimated from the superposition model, which enables correlation of the crystal-field parameters and hence the EPR parameters with the tetragonal distortion of the studied [Cu(H2O)6]2+cluster. According to the calculations, the ligand octahedra around Cu2+are suggested to suffer relative elongation τ (≈ 0.085 Å) along the [001] (or C4) axis for the tetragonal Cu2+centers in ZnSeF6·6H2O crystal, due to the Jahn–Teller effect. The results are discussed.

The EPR parameters (zero-field splitting D and g factors g‖, g⊥) of Cr3+ in a NaInS2 crystal are calculated from high-order perturbation formulas based on the two spin-orbit coupling parameter model for the EPR parameters of 3d3 ions in trigonal octahedral sites. In the calculations, both the contribution to EPR parameters from the spin-orbit coupling parameter of the central 3d3 ion and that of ligands are considered. From the calculations it is found that, to explain reasonably the EPR parameters, the local structure (in particular the local trigonal distortion angle θ ) in the vicinity of the Cr3+ impurity is different from the corresponding structure in the host crystal. The change of the local angle θ with temperature is also obtained from the temperature dependence of zero-field splitting. The results are discussed.
