Abstract.
A new multicomponent vanadate Mg2InV3O11 has been synthesized and investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique. X-ray diffraction measurements have shown that Mg2InV3O11−δ is isostructural with the magnetic system M2FeV3O11 (M = Mg, Zn, Co, Ni). According to the nominal stoichiometry of the Mg2InV3O11 compound all ions are nonmagnetic, but the registered EPR spectra in the 4–300 K temperature range have revealed the presence of a rich variety of paramagnetic centers involving predominantly monomeric and dimeric V4+ ions and their complexes. The most intense EPR component attributed to VO2+ vanadyl ions in an axial symmetry displays the hyperfine structure and could be described by the following spin Hamiltonian parameters: g ∥ = 1.924(1), g ⊥ = 1.965(1) and A ∥ = 162(1)·10−4 cm−1, A ⊥ = 50.8(4) · 10−4 cm−1. The presence of a complicated spectrum at low magnetic fields (g ≅ 4) is the evidence of existence of vanadium dimers. The study of the temperature dependence of EPR parameters (g-factors, line widths, and integrated intensities) has allowed drawing conclusions on existing paramagnetic centers and their magnetic interactions. The role of oxygen deficiency in producing the magnetic centers has been discussed.
