Abstract
We have recorded and investigated the ESR spectrum of vanadium-doped α-RbTiOPO4 single crystals in the temperature interval 77–300 K. Two types of structurally distinct centers, V1 and V2, with a 4:1 ratio of the peak intensities were observed. The angular dependences of the resonance magnetic fields are described by a spin Hamiltonian corresponding to axial symmetry with the parameters g ∥1=1.9305, g ⊥1=1.9565, A ∥1=−168.2×10−4cm−1, and A ⊥1=−54.3×10−4cm−1 for V1 centers and g ∥2=1.9340, g ⊥2=1.9523, A ∥2=−169.0×10−4cm−1, and A ⊥2=−55.2×10−4cm−1 for V2 centers. A model of a paramagnetic center is proposed: The vanadium ions replace titanium ions in two structurally distinct positions Ti1 and Ti2 (V1 and V2 centers, respectively). The possibility that a VO2+ ion forms when α-RbTiOPO4 crystals and crystals of the KTP group (KTiOPO4, NaTiOPO4, α-and β-LiTiOPO4), studied earlier, are doped with vanadium is discussed.
