Abstract

Paramagnetic centers formed by impurity Tm3+ ions in synthetic forsterite Mg2SiO4 were studied by high-frequency tunable electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy in the frequency range of 150–315 GHz. Crystals were grown from the melt by the Czochralski technique in slightly oxidizing atmosphere. Several centers distinguished by different zero-field splitting between the ground and first excited singlets were found and investigated. Parameters of the effective spin Hamiltonian for these centers describing the dependence of electron-nuclear sublevels on magnetic field were determined.
