Jc. Bissey et al., INFLUENCE OF THE FINE AND HYPERFINE-STRUCTURE TERMS ON THE ELECTRON-PARAMAGNETIC-RESONANCE SPECTRA OF POLYCRYSTALLINE SOLIDS, Physica status solidi. b, Basic research, 177(2), 1993, pp. 501-505
EPR spectra of polycrystalline compounds MnSO4.(NH4)2SO4.6 H2O, Gd2(SO
4)3.8 H2O, and NH4Fe(SO4)2.12 H2O are recorded at X-band and room temp
erature. For the first two compounds, good agreement with simulated sp
ectra of Gaussian lineshape is found, and the numerical values of the
fine (D) and hyperfine (A) structure constants are obtained by fitting
with experimental spectra. For the last compound, the fine structure
characteristic of the cubic term (a) is responsible for the ''hyper-Ga
ussian'' shape of the EPR line.
