Abstract

In yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) crystals containing terbium and cerium impurities, along with the main EPR signals of Tb3+ and Се3+ ions located in the dodecahedral sites of the YAG lattice in a regular environment, EPR lines with a lower (several percent) intensity were observed. They also belong to the paramagnetic centers of terbium and cerium, but are characterized by slightly altered parameters—the initial level splitting for non-Kramers Tb3+ ions and g-factors for Се3+ ions. It is shown that the nature of such centers and their number can be explained by the presence of YAl antisite defects, i.e. yttrium ions in the octahedral aluminum positions, in the environment of Tb3+ and Се3+.
