Barium mixed calcium tartrate tetrahydrate (CBT) single crystals with molec
ular formula Ca0.8Ba0.2C4H4O6. 4H(2)O have been grown in gels by controlled
diffusion technique at ambient temperature. The CBT single crystals are ch
aracterized by electron spin resonance technique. The X-irradiation of CBT
single crystals gives rise to a spectrum wit hyperfine components. The maxi
mum hyperfine splitting observed for CBT crystals may be due to the variati
on in the interatomic distance. The g-factor and hyperfine splitting of CBT
crystal are independent of temperature.
