In this paper, we show a simple method of producing ferromagnetic materials with a Curie temperature above room temperature. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of Cd1−xCrxTe (0.002 < x < 0.08) were measured with a dependence on temperature (82 K < T < 381 K). Obtained EPR lines were fitted to a Lorentz-shaped curve. The temperature dependencies of the parameters of the EPR lines, such as the peak-to-peak linewidth (Hpp), the intensity (A), as well as the resonance field (Hr), were studied. Ferromagnetism was noticed in samples at high temperatures (near room temperature). For a sample with a nominal concentration of chrome of x = 0.05, a very strong intrinsic magnetic field is observed. The value of the effective gyromagnetic factor for this sample is ge = 30 at T = 240 K. An increase of chrome concentration above x = 0.05 reduces the ferromagnetic properties considerably. Analysis of the temperature dependencies of the integral intensity of EPR spectra was carried out using the Curie–Weiss law and the paramagnetic Curie temperature was obtained.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies are carried out on vanadyl (VO2+) ions in diammonium tricadmium tetrakis (sulfate) pentahydrate single crystals at room temperature. The EPR spectra of a single crystal exhibit resonance signals characteristic to VO2+ ions. The analysis of EPR spectra indicates that the VO2+ ions in single crystals show two magnetically inequivalent VO2+ sites in distinct orientations occupying substitutional positions in the lattice and showing very high angular dependence. They form in octahedral coordination with tetragonal compression with C4v symmetry. The spin Hamiltonian parameters are determined, and these parameters have been used to estimate the bonding coefficients of the VO2+ ion in a diammonium tricadmium tetrakis (sulfate) pentahydrate lattice. The parallel and perpendicular components of axially symmetric g and hyperfine (A) tensors are evaluated and the results are discussed and compared with previous reports.

AbstractSamples obtained by nitriding of promoted nanocrystalline iron and the nitrides reduction at various nitriding potential in terms of thermodynamic parameters were investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance/ferromagnetic resonance (EPR/FMR) method at room temperature. Experimental FMR spectra were fitted by the Dysonian-type resonance lines arising from the presence of different Fe–N phases. The obtained FMR parameters allowed us to identify the component phases and to determine their magnetic properties. In general, the proposed simple method of decomposition of the FMR spectra produced results on the phase content in investigated samples that were consistent with XRD measurements and additionally, magnetic characteristics of the studied nanomagnets.

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.

AbstractThe electronic structure of nitrogen donors in 6H-, 4H- and 3C-SiC is investigated by measuring the nitrogen hyperfine (hf) interactions with electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) and the temperature dependence of the hf split electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra. Superhyperfine (shf) interactions with many shells of 13C and 29Si were measured in 6H-SiC. The hf and shf interactions are discussed in the framework of effective mass theory. The temperature dependence is explained with the thermal occupation of the lowest valley-orbit split A1 and E states. It is proposed that the EPR spectra of P donors observed previously in neutron transmuted 6H-SiC at low temperature (<10K) and high temperature (>60K) are all due to substitutional P donors on the two quasi-cubic and hexagonal Si sites, whereby at low temperature the E state is occupied and at high temperature the A1 state. The low temperature spectra are thus thought not to be due to P-vacancy pair defects as proposed previously.

AbstractThis paper reports etching results supporting the identification of the SG1 center as a germanium dangling bond defect at the interface between an oxide and crystalline SiGe. The presence of this defect is significant because, like an analogous center in Si-based systems, it may alter the operation of any microelectronic or micro-optical device which incorporates an interface between SiGe and an overlying oxide. The samples examined are oxygen implanted SiGe layers in which the SG1 center is believed to occur at the interface between oxide precipitates and SiGe. Because of the center's apparent relation to the oxide precipitates distributed through layers of the sample, a depth profile assists in confirming the interfacial nature of the defect. We obtain a depth profile by comparing electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of samples etched to decreasing thickness. EPR spectra indicate that the SG1 center decreases with depth in a manner that when correlated to a cross sectional transmission electron micrograph confirms the association with SiO2 and supports its location at the SiGe/SiO2 precipitate interface.

Abstract It is well known that during the mechanical degradation of polymers there takes place scission of molecular chains and the formation of macroradicals. It is of considerable interest to study the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of the macroradicals produced by milling, and to compare them with the spectra of the macroradicals formed in the process of polymerization, and also during the irradiation of polymers by gamma rays and neutrons. We may endeavor to compare the amount of macroradicals formed with the extent of mechanical destruction (for instance with the area of the new interface which is formed). In addition, as was found by experience, the macroradicals formed by mechanical scission are good models for the investigation of reactivity since practically all of them are in the newly formed surface layers and are therefore very accessible to various chemical influences. They enter easily into reaction with various agents present in the medium since in this process diffusion from the surface is found in practice not to be a predominating factor. In the present communication we give the first EPR results obtained on mechanically degraded polymers.

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.
