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.

AbstractThe local structure of the rhombic Cu2+ center in Cu0.5Zr2(PO4)3 phosphate is investigated by using the high-order perturbation formulas of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters, g-factors gi (i=x, y, z), and hyperfine structure constants Ai for 3d9 ions in rhombically elongated octahedral symmetry. According to the studies, the local axial distortion angle Δα (≈ 5.1°) and the planar bond angle θ (≈ 83.8°) in [CuO6]10- cluster was obtained. The theoretical EPR parameters based on the aforementioned local structure parameters show good agreement with the observed values, and some improvement have been made as compared with the previous studies.

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.

Based on the defect model that the impurity Cu2+ in TiO2 on the octahedral Ti4+ site is associated with one oxygen vacancy VO along the C2 axis, the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters, i. e., the g factors gi (i = x;y; z) and the hyperfine structure constants At, of the Cu2+-VOcenter in TiO2 are calculated by using the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a 3d9 ion in a rhombically elongated octahedra. From this study, the impurity Cu2+ is found to be away from VO by a distance Dz (≈ 0:33 Å) along the C2 axis, meanwhile the four O2- ions in the plane perpendicular to the C2 axis may be shifted by Dx (≈ 0:28 Å) towards VO due to the electrostatic interaction between these ions and VO. The theoretical results based on the above local structure distortions show good agreement with the experimental data.

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 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.

CaMoO 4: Dy 3+ used as solid-state laser single crystal, which operate in the yellow region, have important technological applications. In this paper, based on the crystal-field theory, the optical spectra of Dy 3+ in CaMoO 4 crystal are calculated by diagonalizing the 42 × 42 energy matrix. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters g factors g‖ and g⊥ and hyperfine structure constants A‖ and A⊥ of 161 Dy 3+ and 163 Dy 3+ isotopes in CaMoO 4 crystal are investigated using the perturbation formulas of the 4f9 ion in tetragonal symmetry. The needed crystal parameters are determined from the superposition model and the local structure of the studied system. The calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental values.

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.

Yttrium aluminium borate crystals have excellent physical and chemical properties. In this paper, the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) g factors g//, g^ of Yb3+ and hyperfine structure constants A//, A^ of 171Yb3+ and 173Yb3+ isotopes in YAl3(BO3)4 crystal are calculated from the perturbation formulas. The crystal field parameters are obtained from the superposition model and the crystal structure data. The EPR parameters for trigonal Yb3+ centers in YAl3(BO3)4 are reasonably explained by considering the defect structures of doped Yb3+ centers. In the calculation, we also find that Yb3+ ion does not exactly reside in Y3+ site, but suffers an angle distortion  Dq (≈ 3.98 Å) with C3 axis. The results are discussed.
