Abstract
The influence of doping zinc oxide with lead has been studied by electron paramagnetic resonance technique. Beside the signal nearg=1.956 (electron trapped in an oxygen vacancy) the resonances of Pb3+-ions are observed. Due to the strong Fermi-contact-hyperfine interaction of the 6s-electron with the Pb-207-nucleus the Breit-Rabi-diagram is evaluated with the experimentally obtainedA-value. The dependences of the resonances on optical illumination and temperature are investigated.
