Abstract
The X-band EPR spectrum of Mn2+ in Sn2P2S6 was studied in the temperature rangeT=223–363 K. At room temperature the spin-Hamiltonian constants areg=2.00±0.01,B 02 =(163±3)·10−4 cm−1,B 22 =(159±3)·10−4 cm−1,A=−(75±1)·10−4 cm−1. The effect of the invariance in temperature of the resonance magnetic fields in the narrow temperature rangeT=337–340 K and the model of the paramagnetic centre are discussed. According to EPR data a phase transition occurs atT=337 K. This transition from the paraelectric phase to the ferroelectric one is accompanied by a dramatic change in value of the spin-Hamiltonian constantB 02 .
