Paramagnetic Ions in Distorted Perovskite YAlO3 Doped with Europium

详细

In crystals of yttrium orthoaluminate doped with the ¹⁵¹Eu isotope, Eu²⁺, Cr³⁺, Gd³⁺, and Мо³⁺ paramagnetic centers are detected. The fine structure parameters of the spin Hamiltonian are determined or refined for these centers. The orientation behavior of previously unobserved forbidden transitions is considered for the Cr³⁺ centers. It is shown that two Mo³⁺ signals that are detected in magnetic fields directed parallel to the crystallographic axes do not belong to different molybdenum centers, but are two intradoublet transitions of the same center.
