Vi. Kutko et al., JAHN-TELLER ORDERING IN ISING MAGNETIC KE R(MOO4)(2), INDUCED BY EXTERNAL MAGNETIC-FIELD, Fizika nizkih temperatur, 21(4), 1995, pp. 441-445
The EPR spektra of the Ising magnetic KEr(MoO4)(2), of 18-30 GHz are s
tudied in the range 1.8-4.2 K. The measurement of the angular dependen
ces of the EPR spectrum has for the first time permitted detection and
investigation of the first-order structural phase transition in the p
aramagnet, which is induced by the external magnetic field. The critic
al temperature and the critical field of the transition are estimated.
A plausible microscopic model of the cooperative Jahn-Teller effect i
s proposed to describe the observed phase transition.
