Abstract

Electron spin resonance spectra of non-Kramers bivalent iron (Fe2+) ions have been detected in synthetic and natural beryl crystals with an iron impurity. The observed ESR spectra have been attributed to resonance transitions of Fe2+ ions from the ground (singlet) state to excited (doublet) levels with the splitting Δ = 12.7 cm–1 between the levels. The experimental angular and frequency dependences of the resonance field of the ESR signal have been described by the spin Hamiltonian with the effective spin S = 1. The analysis of the ESR data and optical absorption spectra indicates that the Fe2+ ions are situated in tetrahedral positions and substitute Be2+ cations in the beryl structure.
