Abstract
Complete high-order perturbation formulas are established based on charge-transfer (CT) and crystal-field (CF) mechanisms. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) g-factors of MgTiO3:Cr3+, SrTiO3:Cr3+, and SrTiO3:Mn4+ crystals are calculated from the formulas. The calculations of the EPR g-factors agree well with the experimental values. The contribution rate of the CT mechanism to EPR parameters increases with increasing valence state of the 3d n ions in the crystals. For the higher-valence state 3d 3 Mn4+ ion in the crystals, the elucidation of the EPR parameters rationally involves both CF and CT mechanisms.
