An investigation on the defect structures and spin Hamiltonian parameters for the two orthorhombic Ti3+ centers in ZnWO4

By employing the perturbation formulae of the spin Hamiltonian parameters (SHPs) (g factors g_xx, g_yy, g_zz, hyperfine structure constants A_xx, A_yy, A_zz and superhyperfine parameters A_xx׳, A_yy׳, A_zz׳) for a 3d¹ ion in orthorhombically elongated octahedra and tetrahedra, the defect structures and the experimental EPR spectra are theoretically and systematically investigated for the two orthorhombic Ti³⁺ centers C₁ and C₂ in ZnWO₄. Center C₁ is ascribed to the impurity Ti³⁺ at host W⁶⁺ site associated with two nearest neighbor oxygen vacancies due to charge compensation. The resultant tetrahedral [TiO₄]^5– cluster is determined to undergo the local orthorhombic elongation distortion, characterized by the axial distortion angle Δθ (=θ–θ₀≈–6.84°) of the local impurity-ligand bond angle θ related to θ₀ (≈54.74°) and the perpendicular distortion angle Δε (=ε–ε₀≈2.5°) related to ε₀ (≈45°) of an ideal tetrahedron because of the Jahn–Teller effect. Center C₂ is attributed to Ti³⁺ on Zn²⁺ site, and this octahedral [TiO₆]^9– cluster may experience the local axial elongation ΔZ (≈0.001 Ǻ) and the planar bond angle variation Δφ (≈9.1°) due to the Jahn–Teller effect, resulting in a more regular oxygen octahedron. All the calculated SHPs (i.e., g factors for both centers, the hyperfine structure constants for center C₂ and superhyperfine parameters of next nearest neighbor ligand W for center C₁) show good agreement with the observed values. However, the theoretical results based on the previous assignment of center C₁ as Ti³⁺ on W⁶⁺ site with only one nearest planar oxygen vacancy (i.e., five-fold coordinated octahedral [TiO₅]^7– cluster) show much worse agreement with the experimental data. The defect structures and the SHPs (especially the g anisotropies) are discussed for both centers. The present studies on the superhyperfine parameters of ligand W⁶⁺ for center C₁ would be helpful to further investigations on the superhyperfine interactions of cation ligands which were rather scarcely treated before.

CONCEPTUAL DESIGN STUDIES OF AN 84 GHz, 500 kW, CW GYROTRON

The feasibility of an 84 GHz, 500 kW, CW gyrotron for ECRH on an experimental tokamak will be presented in this paper. Mode competition and mode selection procedures are carefully investigated by considering various candidate modes and the TE_10,4 mode is chosen as the operating mode. A conventional cylindrical cavity resonator with weak input and output tapers and parabolic roundings is considered for interaction studies. Self-consistent, both single mode and time-dependent, calculations are carried out and power and efficiencies are computed for a typical set of beam parameters. The results show that an output power of well over 500 kW, CW and efficiency around 40% can be reached without a depressed collector.     

Influence of Azimuthal Structure of Surface Waves on Efficiency of their Excitation by Tubular Electron Beams

The excitation of eigen surface waves by tubular electron beams in cylindrical discharge devices is studied. The influence of the wave‐field azimuthal structure on the excitation efficiency and nonlinear stage of the plasmabeam instability is investigated both numerically and analytically. Analytical expressions for the saturation amplitude and excitation efficiency of the wave under study are derived. They are found to agree well with results obtained by numerical modelling of the plasma‐beam interaction presented in this paper. (© 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Zone specificity in low energy electron stimulated desorption of Cl from reconstructed Si(1 1 1)-7 × 7:Cl surfaces

Diffraction in electron stimulated desorption has revealed a propensity for Cl⁺ desorption from rest atom vs. adatom areas and unfaulted vs. faulted zones of Cl-terminated Si(1 1 1)-(7 × 7) surfaces. We associate the 15 eV ± 1 eV threshold with ionization of Si-Cl σ-bonding surface states and formation of screened two-hole states with Si 3s character. Similar specificity is observed from A and B reconstructions. This can be due to reduced screening in unfaulted regions and increased hole localization in Si back-bonds within faulted regions.     

Electron spin resonance of diluted solid solutions of MnO2 in Y2O3

Electron spin resonance spectra of Mn²⁺ in diluted solid solutions of MnO₂ in Y₂O₃ have been studied at room temperature for Mn concentrations between 0.20 and 2.00 mol%. Isolated Mn²⁺ ions in sites with two different symmetries were observed, as well as Mn²⁺ ions coupled by the exchange interaction. The relative concentration of isolated to coupled Mn²⁺ ions decreases with increasing manganese concentration. The results are consistent with the assumption that the manganese ions occupy preferentially the C₂ symmetry sites. A theoretical calculation based on this model yields an effective range of the exchange interaction between Mn²⁺ ions of 0.53 nm, of the same order as that of Mn²⁺ ions in CaO.

Magnetic properties of oxygenated carbon nitride films from RF-discharge in an acetylene, nitrogen, and oxygen mixture environments

Properties of oxygenated carbon nitride films have attracted the attention of physics researchers due to their magnetic and physical properties, as well as for their usefulness in the industry. The free radicals were investigated using electron paramagnetic resonance applied in the study of spin concentration due to the different mechanism of preparation of carbon nitride films by RF-discharge with different kinds of plasma. Unpaired spin concentrations, in the order of 10²⁰ per cm³, were measured and their time recombination dependency was important in those films. The films were grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition using mixtures of hydrocarbons, N₂ and O₂ in different proportions.
