Abstract

Electron spin resonance of allowed (Δm=0) and forbidden (Δm=±1) hyperfine transitions of Mn2+ in sodalite, Na8(Al6Si6O24)Cl2, is reported. No fine structure other than the central M=∣+1/2>Ŭ∣−1/2> transition is observed. From intensity ratios of forbidden to allowed transitions and doubling of allowed lines in powder spectra the crystal field parameter |D| was estimated as equal to (8±5) 10−3 cm−1. The g-value for the spectrum was obtained as equal to 2.0033±0.0005. The hyperfine structure constant |A| was 83±1 gauss, equal to (77±1) 10−4 cm−1.
