Abstract
The electrcn-spin resonance of reduced BaTiO3 crystals, which was studied by Z. šroubek and K. Žd'ánský [Czech. J. Phys.B 13 (1963), 309], is interpreted as the resonance of the Ti3+ ion. The facts which favour this interpretation are discussed. The distortion of the oxygen ions surrounding the Ti3+ ion has been taken into account in order to explain the measured electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum. Considering the crystal-field model of C4v point-group symmetry, the Stark energy-level separations of the Ti3+ ion and the values of theg factors are calculated.
