Abstract The cubic (high temperature) phase of some langbeinites, A+2 B22+(SO4)3 with 11 different combinations of A and B type cations, doped with Mn2+, is investigated by EPR. Powder or single crystal spectra are measured at X-band. They indicate centers of axial symmetry in all cases. In 6 of the langbeinites two centers are found which differ considerably in intensity. Both centers are substitutional defects (Mn in the crystallographically nonequivalent divalent B ion sites). For the more intense one the zero field splitting parameter is proved to be negative in all cases. That center is assigned to the more spacious site which, depending on the cation size, allows for local relaxation. It is shown by comparison with predictions of the superposition model that relaxation appears to be effective

ABSTRACTFor the first time the acceptor state of iron-boron pairs the occurence of which are suggested by electrical measurements and theoretical considerations is directly proved by EPR measurements. The corresponding EPR spectrum is observed upon suitable illumination of samples which have been co-doped with boron and iron. It shows trigonal symmetry, and the fine-structure pattern can be described with the spin S = l, the g-values gi ∼ 2.1345±0.0001, gi = 2.1345±0.0004 and the zero-field splitting parameter |D| = (1.418±0.001) cm−1.

The compound Pb3P2O8 has a low temperature monoclinic phase with space group C2/c and a high temperature phase with space group [Formula: see text], both with two crystallographically inequivalent cationic sites. X-ray data taken at five temperatures have indicated that an F-centered monoclinic cell is developed prior to its transition to the rhombohedral phase. The EPR spectra at room temperature show that Mn2+ substitutes only at the cationic site on the twofold axis. A phase transition occurs at 185 °C and approaching this temperature from below the magnetic axes in the ac plane rotate continuously, by about 40°. At 185 °C the Z axis coincides with the c axis of the hexagonal cell (a* axis of the monoclinic cell). The crystal field splitting parameter b20 increases from −423 G to −222 G while b22 goes from 280 G to zero. A model based on the theory of Blume and Orbach for the zero-field splitting and with point charges as the source of the electric field is used to relate the EPR parameters to the atomic displacements.

The room temperature structure of Cd2(NH4)2(SO4)3 (CAS), isotypic with the mineral langbeinite K2Mg2(SO4)3 has been refined by full-matrix least squares methods. The structure is cubic with a = 10.362(7) Å and space group P213. There are two inequivalent sites for the cation Cd2+ and e.p.r. spectra of doped Mn2+ show that Cd2+ was substituted in both sites with preferential occupancy by Mn2+ in a 1:3 ratio. Refinement of X-ray data on a mixed crystal of the stoichiometry Cd0.84Mn1.16(NH4)2(SO4)3 shows that site I contains 82% Mn2+ while site II has 38%. The zero-field splitting parameter D was calculated for Mn2+ in two sites using a point-charge model and confirms that Mn2+ substitutes into site I with greater preference. Although a monoclinic ferroelectric phase of CAS has been suggested below 90 K, no change in space group symmetry could be detected at 80 K. The proton second moment, calculated by the van Vleck's formula, and compared with the experimental values, suggests a tunneling motion of the protons among the four vertices of the ammonium tetrahedron.

Abstract Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) studies of Cr 3+ in single crystals of tris(guanidinium) hexafluoroaluminate, [C(NH2)3]3 AlF6 , have been carried out in the X-band region. A temperature dependent study of the zero-field splitting parameter D in the range 77-398 K shows the presence of a phase transition, which is supported by Differential Thermal Analysis. In addition, 19F superhyperfine struc-ture has been observed in the 9.3% naturally abundant 53Cr isotope hyperfine structure. D shows a large decrease with increasing temperature. The phase transition brings about a chemical inequivalence in the two chemically equivalent but magnetically inequivalent room temperature (CrF6)3- species. Compar-ison is made with the alums AlCl3 • 6H20, as well as other guanidinium aluminum salts.

Abstract In platelets of Cs2Zn3S4 with about 4% of the Zn substituted by Mn two nonequivalent centers of isolated Mn2+ were observed in addition to a broad EPR signal near g = 2 which is assigned to clusters of interconnected MnS4 units. The fine structure and hyperfine structure parameters for the single-ion centers (all in units of 1CT 4 cm -1) areb02 = -318.3 ± 3; b22 = -210.3 ± 2; Ay = -62.7; Az = -63.6 ± 0.8;b02 = -890 ± 18; b22 = -743 ± 36; Ay = -60.6; Az = - 61.4 ± 0.8;for centers I and II, resp. Center II arises from Zn sites of C 2 site symmetry while for center I assignment to either one of two sites with D2 site symmetry is possible. The larger hyperfine splitting constants as well as the superposition analysis favor the larger sites which are not occupied by Zn, but are partly occupied in the analogous Mn (and Co) compounds. Superposition analysis yields the same value of + 0.12 ± 0.02 cm-1 for the intrinsic zero field splitting parameter b̄2 of the bridging MnS4 units in both sites. gz is significantly higher than the free ion value indicating a higher degree of covalency than in Cds and CdGa2S4.

<em>Some complexes of Ni(II) have been prepared with 2-thio-3-acetyl hydantoin (TAHN) and 2-formyl pyridine thiosemicarbazone (FPTS). On the basis of elemental analysis and molar conductivity, the complexes have been formulated as NiL<sub>2</sub>X<sub>2</sub>, where L = TAHN or FPTS and X = Cl<sup>–</sup>, Br<sup>–</sup>, NCS<sup>–</sup>, ClO<sub>4</sub><sup>–</sup>. The infrared spectra of complexes and free ligand reveal that the ligand TAHN is co-ordinated through sulphur and acetyl oxygen, while FPTS ligand co-ordinates through heterocyclic nitrogen and sulphur to Ni(II) metal ion. The magnetic moment of these complexes are found to be 3.20-3.25 B.M. The values are greater than value (2.828 B.M) corresponding to two unpaired electrons of a d<sup>8</sup>-system. The appearance of four absorption bands in their electronic spectra reveal, the tetragonal distortion in the octahedral symmetry of complexes. The zero field splitting parameter(D) and the other crystal field parameters like Dq<sub>(xy)</sub>, Dq<sub>(z)</sub>, Dt have been calculated. The results show that, the tetragonal distortion parameter (Dt) increases in the order of NCS<sup>– </sup>&lt; Cl<sup>–</sup> &lt; Br<sup>–</sup> while the zero field splitting parameter (D) also increases in the same order for both the planer ligands.</em>

The electron spin resonance (ESR) of Cr3+ in K1−xTlxAl(SO4)2·12H2O has been studied at 300 K and 9.45 GHz. The ESR spectrum for x between 30 and 90% shows several chromium complexes. The variation of the zero-field splitting parameter D suggests that monovalent ions play an important role in the trigonal distortion of the water octahedron around the trivalent metal ion in alums. - PASC: 76.30 F.

Abstract Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of trivalent chromium and iron ions have been investigated in host crystals of double sulfates with langbeinite structure, A2B2(SO4)3 , with A = NH4+, Rb+, Tl+ and B = Cd2+, Mg2+. In most cases, single crystals could be grown, and the spin Hamiltonian parameters have been determined from the rotational diagrams. Powder spectra were analyzed and simulated as well. Three centres of axial symmetry with different zero field splittings have been observed for Cr3+, and two for Fe3+. The trivalent impurity ions have been shown to occupy divalent lattice sites substitutionally, but the environments are different depending on the structure and the mechanism of charge compensation. A qualitative description of the incorporation of dopants has been possible on this basis, taking into account the local relaxation and the ligand field stabilization effects. Temperature dependent single crystal and powder measurements have provided information on the zero field splitting and phase transitions.
