Supertransferred hyperfine structure in EPR of V⁴⁺ ion in Ca₃In₂Ge₃O₁₂ garnet

Abstract

Interaction of an unpaired electron of the tetrahedral V⁴⁺ ion in Ca₃In₂Ge₃O₁₂ garnet with the four nearest In nuclei gives rise to clearly resolved structure of EPR spectra. We report the observation and analysis of these spectra at three frequencies and at temperature 77 K. The temperature dependence between liquid helium and the room temperatures was also studied. Parameters of the spin Hamiltonian are g_∥=1·8735; g_⊥=1·9825; ∣ ¦A∥|=150·4×10⁻⁴cm⁻¹; ¦ A_⊥¦ = 36·7 × 10⁻⁴ cm⁻¹. The supertransferred hyperfine interaction was found to be isotropic, absolute value of the corresponding parameter a is 22·1 × 10⁻⁴ cm⁻¹.
