With electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and electron nuclear double reso
nance (ENDOR) the surrounding of the activator Eu2+ was investigated in SrF
Cl single crystals. The analysis of the Eu2+ superhyperfine interaction wit
h the nuclei of the next fluorine shells yielded that Eu substitutes for Sr
2+ and is not shifted from a regular lattice site. This result settles prev
ious conflicting conclusions about such a shift.
