Vk. Jain et al., ELECTRON-PARAMAGNETIC-RESONANCE OF MN2-CRYSTALS( IN CS(2)M(SO4)(2).6H(2)O (M=MG, ZN, CO, NI) SINGLE), Solid state communications, 97(5), 1996, pp. 425-428
X-band electron paramagnetic resonance measurements are reported on si
ngle crystals of Cs(2)M(SO4)(2).6H(2)O (M = Mg, Zn, Co, Ni) doped with
Mn2+ ions at 290 K and 77 K. Mn2+ substitutes for divalent cation sit
es. The spin-Hamiltonian parameters are evaluated. The observation reg
arding the temperature dependence of linewidth in cobalt salt is discu
ssed in terms of the host spin-lattice relaxation narrowing. The aniso
tropic and field dependent linewidths of Mn2+ in nickel salt are discu
ssed in terms of the spin quenching ideas.
