Abstract

A comparative EPR study of Mn 2+ doped in isomorphous single crystals of tetrahydrate acetates of magnesium, cobalt and nickel has been carried out from ∼ 400 K to ∼ 77 K to study the effect of the paramagnetic host ions on the EPR of Mn 2+ ions. Mn 2+ is found to substitute for the divalent metal ion and exhibits two inequivalent magnetic complexes corresponding to the bimolecular unit cell of the three isomorphous crystals. The observed differences in the EPR of Mn 2+ in dia-and paramagnetic hosts are attributed to the magnetic interactions between Mn 2+ and the para-magnetic host ions.
