Abstract

The X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies on a single crystal of Cu(II) ion doped in cadmium malate pentahydrate have been studied over an extended temperature range of 120–390 K. The detailed analysis of EPR spectra reveal that the Cu(II) ion enters the Cd(II) site in the host lattice. From the observed EPR spectrum, the spin-Hamiltonian parameters have been evaluated. The optical absorption spectrum exhibits a broad band and a shoulder which are assigned to the transitions 2 B 1g → 2B 2g and 2 B 1g → 2E g respectively. The ground state wavefunction of Cu(II) at room temperature is evaluated.
