Abstract
Electron paramagnetic resonance studies of Cu 2+ doped in single crystals of dibarium cobalt formate tetrahydrate are carried out. Unlike in other cobalt salts, resolved hyperfine spectra are observed at room temperature itself. At 77K, the hyperfine linewidth shows an angular and nuclear spin dependence. Further, the linewidth increases as the temperature is lowered. The various possibilities of Cu-Co couplings like spin-flip and cross relaxation etc. are discussed. The spin-Hamiltonian parameters change conspicuously as the temperature is lowered which is ascribed to a vibrational mixing of the electronic levels in the ground state of Cu 2+.
