Abstract

A self-organization of eight structurally and magnetically nonequivalent positions of manganese Mn2+ ions in the unit cell of a single crystal of the lithium–gallium Li0.5Ga2.5O4 spinel is demonstrated. These ions are self-distributed over such positions and minima of the crystal field potential. The self-organized structures form during the crystal growth. Such a self-distribution of manganese ions is observed and studied in the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra.
