Abstract

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of Ce3+, Yb3+, Cr3+, and Gd3+ impurity ions in yttrium aluminum garnet Y3Al5O12 (YAG) ceramics were detected and identified at frequency of 94 GHz. The advantage of measuring the EPR spectra in the high-frequency range compared to the standard EPR technique is shown, which makes it possible to separate the EPR spectra characterized by different anisotropic g-factors and also to isolate the EPR signals due to the splitting of the fine structure for centers with high-spin states. In ceramics with a high content of magnetic Gd3+ ions, EPR and electron spin echo (ESE) spectra of multi-ionic gadolinium complexes were observed, and EPR spectra of complexes with the maximum number of exchange-coupled gadolinium ions are seen at low temperatures. The temperature dependences of the EPR spectra indicates ferromagnetic ordering of exchange-coupled complexes of gadolinium.
