Abstract
Continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of impurity holmium ions in synthetic forsterite have been studied on an ELEXSYS E580 spectrometer equipped with a cylindrical dielectric resonator ER4118MD5-W1 of the Flexline series. Resonance lines of the anomalous shape demonstrating the absorption contour instead of its derivative were observed at the conventional operation mode with the magnetic field modulation. The conditions of the appearance of anomalous signals and their characteristics have been studied. The anomalous lines shape effect was explained by the simultaneous excitation of magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole transitions between electron–nuclear spin sublevels of the holmium ions.
