Abstract
Fe(III) and Gd(III) ions in α-alumina (A12O3) exhibit spin states ofS = 5/2 andS = 7/2 respectively. The magnitude of the zero-field interaction (ZFI) (D = 0.10−0.15 cm−1) gives rise to an inter Kramers doublet splitting in the same order of magnitude as the X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) quantum (0.3 cm−1). It is demonstrated that through a careful step-by-step analysis and spectral simulation of EPR spectra taken at D-band (130 GHz), Q-band (35 GHz), and X-band (9 GHz) at room temperature, the (relative) sign and magnitude of the ZFI parameters, b 02 , b 04 , and b 34 , can be reliably estimated.
