Abstract

The electron-spin-resonance spectra of transition metal ions Fe in the HgSe matrix are analyzed. The spectra have an appearance typical of the Fe3+ ion, i.e., they consist of five fine-structure lines with a splitting that corresponds to a weak crystal field. The spectra are observed at temperatures of up to 50 K. The spectral lines are deformed and have a Dyson shape. An analysis of the temperature dependences of the line amplitudes shows that a transition from paramagnetic ordering to ferromagnetic ordering occurs with decreasing temperature, with the Curie temperature T ≈ 7 K.
