Abstract

The Paramagnetic Resonance of Gd3+ in SmCl3·6H2O single crystals, grown from solution, is studied at room temperature. A six line spectrum for H//Z and a seven line spectrum for H//X corresponding to ΔM=± 1 transitions are observed. Their angular variation in ZX plane fromϑ=0° toϑ=90°, is studied and the spin-Hamiltonian analysis is presented. The probable amount of admixture of the next higher electronic state6P7/2 with the ground state8S7/2 is also estimated.
