Abstract In natural smoky quartz and neutron-irradiated, initially colorless quartz a new hole center was formed electrolytically at temperatures near 1100 K in addition to the well-known smoky quartz center. Unlike the latter its electron paramagnetic resonance spectra can already be measured at room temperature due to firm localization of the hole on one oxygen. It is characterized by fairly small hyperfine splittings due to Al impurity and significant deviations of all three principal g factors from that of a free electron. A tentative model for the structure of this center is proposed.An activation energy of 215 kJ/mol was determined for this electrolytic coloration from the temperature dependence of the electrolysis currents.

The electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of ketyls derived from alicyclic ketones containing from 6 to 12 carbons have been recorded in 1,2-dimethoxyethane or dimethoxymethane at temperatures from −96 to +87 °C. At −96° individual conformers of the cyclohexyl ketyl are observed with hyperfine couplings in close agreement with that of the conformationally 'frozen' 4-tert-butyl analogue at room temperature. The cycloheptyl ketyl conformational equilibrium between forms which have a plane of symmetry through the C—O bond axis is 'frozen' with respect to the spectrometer frequency at temperatures from −40 to +88 °C. Cyclooctyl ketyl equilibrates at ordinary temperatures between two conformers lacking a plane of symmetry through the C—O bond axis. The electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of the ketyls derived from 10- and 12-membered rings show dramatic temperature dependence, which is interpreted in terms of two or more simultaneous conformational equilibria. Values for the dihedral angles of the alpha protons and for the spin density on the sp2 carbon are derived.

The electron paramagnetic resonance (e.p.r.) spectra of ketyls derived from cyclopentanone and 4-tert-butyl, 4-methyl, 3-methyl, and unsubstituted cyclohexanone have been recorded in dimethoxymethane at room temperature. The proton hyperfine splittings (aH) observed with rigid ketyls are consistent with a dihedral angular (θ) dependence of hyperfine coupling of the form, aH = 4.8 + 9.6 cos2 θ. Conformational averaging of the hyperfine coupling is observed with 4-methyl, 3-methyl, and unsubstituted cyclohexanone ketyls. The conformer populations calculated from the e.p.r. spectra are in accordance with A values for the methyl group derived from non-radical cyclohexane compounds.

Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra have been observed in single crystals of Cu2O at 4.2 °K. Six samples cut from the same starting material were individually heated under a wide range of vacuum conditions and comparison was made between the observed e.p.r. spectrum and the luminescence, activation energy, and photoconductivity in the same sample. No direct relationships between e.p.r. spectra and the luminescence and photoconductivity were found although a good correlation between the complexity of the e.p.r. spectra and the room temperature activation energy was observed.

AbstractThe temperature dependence of the silicon dangling-bond resonance in polycrystalline (poly-Si) and amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) was measured. At room temperature, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements reveal an isotropie g-value of 2.0055 and a line width of 6.5 and 6.1 G for Si dangling-bonds in a-Si:H and poly-Si, respectively. In both materials spin density and g-value are independent of temperature. While in a-Si:H the width of the resonance did not change with temperature, poly-Si exhibits a remarkable T dependence of ΔHpp. In unpassivated poly-Si a pronounced decrease of ΔHpp is observed for temperatures above 300 K. At 384 K ΔHpp reaches a minimum of 5.1 G, then increases to 6.1 G at 460 K, and eventually decreases to 4.6 G at 530 K. In hydrogenated poly-Si ΔHpp decreases monotonically above 425 K. The decrease of ΔHpp is attributed to electron hopping causing motional narrowing. An average hopping distance of 15 and 17.5 Å was estimated for unhydrogenated and H passivated poly-Si, respectively.

Abstract In clear, blue, transparent bipyramidal crystals of the rare mineral benitoite, BaTiSi3O9, para­ magnetic defects have been investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance at room temperature and 9.43 GHz. They are attributed to Sn3+ and Fe3+ . A pair of satellites recorded for a wide angular rage around B0 || c (~40°) and a relative intensity of ~ 13% to the central signal is most likely due to hyperfine interaction with 117Sn and 119Sn isotopes. Attempts to bleach the colour of the crystal were unsuccessful.
