Abstract
The spin-Hamiltonian (or EPR) parameters of tetragonal Cu2+ octahedral centers in ZnCdO nanopowders are calculated from the high-order perturbation formulas based on the cluster approach. In these formulas, the contributions to spin-Hamiltonian parameters due to the admixture between the d orbitals of dn ion and the p orbitals of ligand ions via covalence effect are considered. The crystal field parameters are calculated from the superposition model and so the optical absorption bands (related to the crystal field energy levels) and local structure of Cu2+ octahedral centers in ZnCdO nanopowder are also studied. The calculated spin-Hamiltonian parameters and optical absorption bands are in reasonable agreement with the experimental values. The tetragonal elongation ΔR (=R//−R⊥) of Cu2+ octahedron in ZnCdO nanopowder due to Jahn–Teller effect is acquired from the calculations. The results are discussed.
