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.

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.

The electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of γ -irradiated L-glutamine hydrochloride and N-carbamoyl- L-glutamic acid single crystals have been investigated at room temperature. Radiation damage centres are attributed to ĊH, ṄH2 and CH2Ċ(NH2)COOH radicals.

Shallow N donors in n-type 4H-SiC were studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR). For the N donor at the cubic site (Nk) in 4H-SiC, the hyperfine (hf) constants of the interaction with the nearest neighbour (NN) 29Si atom along the c axis were determined as A = 41.07 MHz and A^ = 41.31 MHz. For other three NN Si atoms in the basal plane, the hf tensor has C1h symmetry and the principal values Axx = 5.94 MHz, Ayy = 5.06 MHz and Azz = 14.25 MHz. Our EPR and ENDOR observations unambiguously confirm that the N donor occupies the C site in 4H-SiC lattice and also reveal a considerable amount of the spin density of Nk (~23.9%) which was not obtained in previous studies.

ABSTRACTThe effect of the ion implantation (Fe) on LiNbO3, MgO, and A12O3 crystals is studied using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). EPR measurements on these crystals were performed as a function of fluence at room temperature. The fluence was 1 × 1014 and 1 × 1016 ions/cm2. The unpaired carrier concentration increases with increasing fluence. The photosensitivity of these crystals was determined by observing in situ the effect of the laser illumination on the EPR signal and measuring the decay and the growth of the EPR signal. The EPR signal of Fe3+ was found to decrease in both MgO, and Al2O3; and was found to increase in LiNbO3. This indicated that in case of MgO, and A12O3 Fe3+ will transfer into Fe2+/Fe4+, but in case of LiNbO3 Fe2+/ Fe4+ will transfer into Fe3+; increasing the EPR signal. This was found primary due to some Fe2+ and Fe4+ ions, which is not intentionally doped on the LiNbO3 crystal but exist as a defect on the crystal.
