A. Watterich et al., ELECTRON-SPIN-RESONANCE OF VANADIUM-PERTURBED AND MOLYBDENUM-PERTURBED V-O(.) CENTERS IN ZNWO4 SINGLE-CRYSTALS, Journal of physics. Condensed matter, 8(49), 1996, pp. 10659-10667
Two new dopant-related defects which are similar to one another have b
een found by ESR in vanadium-doped and molybdenum-doped zinc tungstate
single crystals. These defects resemble the V-O(B) centre (an electro
n associated with an oxygen vacancy) reported earlier for electron-irr
adiated undoped ZnWO4. However, the new centres are significantly modi
fied by a perturbing vanadium or molybdenum dopant ion which substitut
es for a tungsten cation neighbouring the trapped electron.
