Abstract
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), optical absorption, and infrared spectral studies have been carried out on Mn2+ ions doped in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) complexed with polyethylene glycol (PEG) films prepared by solution cast technique. The EPR spectra of 0.25 mol% Mn2+ ions doped polymer complex (PVA+PEG) at room temperature exhibit sextet hyperfine structure (hfs), centered at g ≈ 1.99. The spin–Hamiltonian parameter values indicate that the ground state of Mn2+ ion is d5 and the site symmetry around Mn2+ ions in tetragonally distorted octahedral site. The spin concentration participating in the resonance is measured as a function of temperature and it is observed that it obeys Boltzmann’s law. The paramagnetic susceptibility (χ) is calculated from the EPR data at various temperatures (93–333 K) and it obeys the Curie–Weiss law. The optical absorption spectra exhibits two bands which are assigned to 6A1g (S)→4A1g (G) or 4Eg (G) and 6A1g (S)→4T2g (G) transitions. The infrared spectrum exhibits few bands due to the presence of O–H, C–H, and C=C groups.
