Abstract
The local lattice distortions and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters (anisotropic g factors and the hyperfine structure constants) for the two Pt3+ centers in ZnWO4 are theoretically investigated by utilizing the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a 5d 7 ion under rhombically elongated and compressed octahedra. The elongated (and compressed) centers are ascribed to the [PtO6]9− clusters on Zn2+ site suffering the axial elongation of 0.01 Å (and compression of 0.02 Å) along Z axis and the planar bond angle variations of 7.4° (and 7.8°), respectively, due to the Jahn–Teller effect. The above local lattice deformations may considerably cancel the original large axial elongation (~0.31 Å) and perpendicular rhombic angular distortion of the host [ZnO6]10− cluster and yield more regular [PtO6]9− clusters in the impurity centers. The calculated EPR parameters based on the above lattice deformations show good agreement with the experimental data, and the local structures of the impurity centers are discussed.
