Abstract
In crystals of the narrow-gap semiconductor Pb1 – xGdxTe (x = 1.5 · 10–4) at temperatures T = 5–100 K, the method of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) revealed unusual dependences of the line shape of the EPR spectra of paramagnetic Gd3+ centers on temperature and the microwave power level in the spectrometer cavity. Based on the results of the analysis of the shape parameters of resonance lines recorded in the X-band, it was concluded that the most probable cause of changes in the observed EPR spectra is the effect of resonance transitions between the spin levels of Gd3+ centers on the kinetic characteristics of free charge carriers bound by exchange interactions with Gd3+ ions.
