The perturbation formulas of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters g∥, g⊥, A∥ and A⊥ for a 4f3(Nd3+) ion in tetragonal symmetry are established in this work. In these formulas, the contributions to the EPR parameters arising from the second-order perturbation terms and the admixtures of different states are included. Then the above formulas are applied to a tetragonal Nd3+ center in LiYF4, where the related crystal-field parameters are calculated from the superposition model and the local structural parameters of the Y3+ site occupied by the impurity Nd3+. The EPR parameters and the optical spectra within the 4I9/2 and 4I11/2 states obtained in this work agree reasonably with the observed values.

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.

The electron paramagnetic resonance g factors g|| and g⊥ for Er3+ in the superconductor Pr2CuO4 are investigated by using the perturbation formulas of g factors for a 4f11 ion in tetragonal symmetry. In these formulas, the contributions to the g factors due to the second-order perturbation terms and the admixture of different states are considered. The crystal field parameters used in the calculations are obtained from the superposition model and the local structural parameters of the impurity Er3+ located on the host Pr3+ site. The superposition model parameters adopted in this paper are comparable with those for similar tetragonal Er3+ centers in some zircon compounds in previous work. The above investigations may be helpful to understand the electronic and magnetic properties and hence the superconductivity of the Er3+ doped Pr2CuO4.

The perturbation equations of the EPR parameters g‖ and g⊥ for the lowest Kramers doublet of a 4f1 ion in tetragonal symmetry are established. In these equations, the contributions of the covalency effects, the admixture between J = 7/2 and J = 5/2 states and the second-order perturbation (which is not considered previously) are included. The crystal field parameters for the studied Ce3+ center are calculated from the superposition model. Based on the above perturbation equations and related parameters, the EPR g factors for the Ce3+ center in LiYF4 crystals are reasonably explained. The results are discussed.

The electron paramagnetic resonance parameters g‖ and g⊥ of Dy3+, and the hyperfine structure parameters A‖ and A⊥ of 161Dy3+ and 163Dy3+ in a La2Mg3(NO3)12 · 24H2O crystal are calculated by the perturbation formulas of the EPR parameters for a 4f9 ion in trigonal symmetry. In these formulas, the J-mixing among the 6HJ (J = 15/2, 13/2 and 11/2) states via crystal-field interactions, the mixtures of the states with the same J-value via spin-orbit coupling interaction and the interactions between the lowest Kramers doublet Γγ and the same irreducible representations in the other 20 Kramers doublets ΓX via the crystal-field and orbital angular momentum (or hyperfine structure) are all considered. The crystal-field parameters for the studied Dy3+ center are obtained with the superposition model. The calculated results are in good agreement with the observed values.

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 complete high-order perturbation formulas are established by both crystal-field (CF) and charge-transfer (CT) mechanisms. The EPR g factors of MgTiO 3: Cr 3+, SrTiO 3: Cr 3+ and SrTiO 3: Mn 4+ crystals are calculated from the formulas. The calculations of the EPR g factors are in agreement with the experimental values. The contribution rate of the CT mechanism (|ΔgT/ΔgF|) to EPR parameters, increases with the growth of the valence state for the 3dn ions in the crystals. For the higher valence state 3d3 ion Mn 4+ in crystals, the explanation of the EPR parameters reasonably involves both CF and CT mechanisms. The g values are also given from one-spin-orbit-parameter model and crystal-field (CF) mechanism for comparison.

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.

Abstract Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) zero-field splittings D for Mn2+ and Fe3+ in wurtzite GaN crystals are studied from high-order perturbation formulas based on the spin-orbit mechanism in both weak- and strong-field schemes. From these studies it can be seen that the Mn2+ or Fe3+ impurity does not occupy the exact Ga3+ position, but is displaced by ΔR on the C3 axis. The displacements are confirmed from a study of the superposition model, based on which a normal value of b̅2 (Ro) ( ≈ -0 .34 (15) cm-1 ) for the Fe3+-N3- combination is suggested. The EPR parameters D, g|| and g ⟂ for Ni3+ in GaN crystals are also studied. It is found that Ni3+ is almost not displaced. The impurity displacements in GaN are discussed by considering the valences and radii of these impurity ions and the replaced Ga3+ ion. - Pacs: 61.16Hn; 76.30Fc; 71.70Ch
