Hyperfine interaction in K2Ba[Fe(NO2)6

Magnetic hyperfine splitting observed in the low temperature M?ssbauer spectrum of potassium barium hexanitro ferrate(II), in the absence of any external field, is attributed to the 5T2g state of the central metal atom further split into a ground 5Eg state and a first excited 5B2g state under a distorted octahedral symmetry in contrast to the earlier prediction of 1A1g ground state on the basis of room temperature M?ssbauer spectral and other properties. The central iron atom is coordinated to six nitrito groups (NO2-), having an oxidation state of +2. The temperature dependence of M?ssbauer spectra is explained on the basis of electronic relaxation among the spin-orbit coupled levels of the 5Eg ground state. Various kinds of electronic relaxation mechanisms have been compared to explain the proposed mechanism. The observed temperature dependent spectra with varying internal magnetic field and line width can be explained by simple spin lattice relaxation.     

Theoretical investigations of zero-field splitting of excited states for 3d3 ions in trigonal crystal fields

By taking into account slight interactions, i.e. spin-spin, spin-other-orbit and orbit-orbit interactions, in addition to spin-orbit interaction, the zero-field splitting of ground state and low excited states and g factors of ZnGa2O4:Cr3+ crystal have been interpreted systematically. And the contributions to zero-field splitting arising from slight magnetic interaction and trigonal crystal field are investigated. It is found that there exist combined mechanism between magnetic interactions and trigonal crystal field.     

Single crystal EPR and optical absorption studies of Cu2+ ion in L-arginine sulphophosphate monohydrate--a nonlinear optical crystal

The EPR spectra of Cu2+ ion in L-arginine sulphophosphate monohydrate (LASP), a nonlinear optical material (NLO) have been studied at room temperature. Two magnetically inequivalent interstitial Cu2+ sites in the lattice were identified. The principal values of g- and A-tensors indicate that the symmetry of the electrostatic field around the Cu2+ ion is rhombic. Bonding parameters have been evaluated and the ground state wave function of Cu2+ ion is constructed. The ground state is found to be an admixure of x2 - y2 and 3z2 - r2 orbitals. By correlating EPR and optical absorption spectra the crystal field parameters have been evaluated.     

Crystal field analysis of energy level structure of LiAlO2:V3+ and LiGaO2:V3+

A detailed analysis of the energy level structure of tetrahedrally coordinated V(3+) ion in lithium aluminum oxide LiAlO(2) (gamma-phase) and lithium dioxogallate LiGaO(2) is performed using the exchange charge model of the crystal field theory. The parameters of the crystal field acting on the V(3+) optical electrons are calculated from crystal structure data assuming C(1) point symmetry of the [VO(4)](5-) impurity center in LiAlO(2) and LiGaO(2). Crystal field splitting of all five LS terms of the V(3+) ion ((3)F, (3)P, (1)S, (1)D, (1)G) is calculated. The energy levels obtained are compared with experimental absorption spectra and results of application of other crystal field models (the angular overlap model and Racah theory) to the considered crystals; though only one fitting parameter of the exchange charge model was used, a good agreement with experimental data on the ground and excited state absorption is demonstrated.     

Theoretical investigation for the EPR g-factors of the mixed ground state in NaCl: Ag2+ crystals

In this paper, it is considered that the local structure of the (AgCl6)4- cluster for the NaCl: Ag2+ crystal is of the axially elongational D4h symmetry which possesses the weaker rhombic distortion at <001> lattice site. The mechanism for an admixture of the 2A1g into the ground state 2B1g is taken into account. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) g factors of NaCl: Ag2+ are studied by using the double spin-orbit coupling model and an approximation of a semiempirical molecular orbit. The EPR g factors for the NaCl: Ag2+ crystals are reasonably explained as well as the good agreement between the calculated values and the experimental data is obtained.     

Magnetic properties of the seven-coordinated nanoporous framework material Co(bpy)(1.5)(NO(3))(2) (bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine)

The magnetic properties of the porous metal-organic complex Co(bpy)(1.5)(NO(3))(2) (bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine), investigated by SQUID magnetometry, EPR and heat capacity measurements, are reported. The tongue-and-groove structure of this complex is formed by the assembly of T-shaped building blocks, where each Co is bound to three bpy ligands. Co(ii) is hepta-coordinated by three N atoms from the bpy units, and four O atoms from two nitrate groups. Experimental results showed a large crystal field effect induced anisotropy with a zero field splitting of Δ = 198 K between the ground and excited Kramers doublets, a factor of two larger than previously reported values in Co(ii) hepta-coordinated complexes. EPR revealed orthorhombic crystal field anisotropy, with gyromagnetic principal values of g(1)(*) = 6.1, g(2)(*) = 4.2 and g(3)(*) = 2.2, in an S(*) = 1/2 effective spin on the ground state Kramers doublet. Ab initio simulations allowed us to assign the anisotropy easy axis of magnetization to the binary symmetry axis of the molecule, aligned with the Co-N apical direction of the T-block.     

Orbital angular momentum contribution to the magneto-optical behavior of a binuclear cobalt(II) complex

We report magnetic and magnetic circular dichroism investigations of a binuclear Co(II) compound. The Hamiltonian of the system involves an isotropic exchange interaction dealing with the real spins of cobalt(II) ions, spin-orbit coupling, and a low-symmetry crystal field acting within the (4)T(1g) ground manifold of each cobalt ion. It is shown that spin-orbit coupling between this ground term and the low-lying excited ones can be taken into consideration as an effective g factor in the Zeeman part of the Hamiltonian. The value of this g factor is estimated for the averaged experimental values of Racah and cubic ligand field parameters for high-spin cobalt(II). The treatment of the Hamiltonian is performed with the use of a irreducible tensor operator technique. The results of the calculation are in good agreement with experimental observations. Both a large effective g factor for the ground state and a large temperature-independent part of the magnetic susceptibility arise because of a strong orbital contribution to the magnetic behavior of the Co(II) dimer.     

Crystal field effects on the optical absorption and luminescence properties of Ni2+-doped chlorides and bromides: crossover in the emitting higher excited state

Single crystals of CsCdCl3, CsCdBr3, CsMgBr3, and MgBr2 doped with 0.1/5% Ni2+ were grown by the Bridgman technique and studied by variable-temperature optical absorption and luminescence spectroscopies. At cryogenic temperatures all these systems are dual emitters; i.e., they emit light from two distinct, thermally nonequilibrated excited states. The emitting higher excited state is 1T2g in Ni2+:CsCdCl3 and Ni2+:CsCdBr3 and 1A1g in Ni2+:CsMgBr3 and Ni2+:MgBr2. This crossover manifests itself in a change from red broad-band to yellow sharp-line luminescence, and it is rationalized on the basis of crystal field theory. Temperature-dependent luminescence as well as two-color pump and probe experiments reveal that in Ni2+:CsMgBr3 and Ni2+:MgBr2 the 1T2g state lies only about 70 and 170 cm-1, respectively, above 1A1g. The effect of crystal field strength on thermally activated nonradiative multiphonon relaxation processes in the bromides is examined for both 1A1g/1T2g higher excited state and 3T2g first excited-state emission. Two-color excited-state excitation experiments are used to monitor Ni2+ excited-state absorption transitions originating from 3T2g.     

Single crystal EPR study of Cu(2+) in cobalt ammonium phosphate hexahydrate: a case of low hyperfine coupling constant and measurement of spin-lattice relaxation times

Single crystal electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies of Cu(II) doped cobalt ammonium phosphate hexahydrate have been carried out from 300 to 77 K, with single crystal rotation in all the three planes at 153 K, since the spectra are well resolved at this temperature. The angular variation studies indicate only one site in substitutional position with spin-Hamiltonian parameters as g: 2.404, 2.155, 2.063 and A: 11.58, 3.49, 2.07 mT. The reduction in one of the principal A value has been explained by considering considerable admixture of d(x(2)-y(2)) ground state with d(zeta(2)) excited state. The admixture coefficients of ground state wave function are: a = 0.2500; b = 0.9663; c = 0.0520; d = 0.0210; e = -0.0210, where a and b correspond to admixture coefficients for d(zeta(2)) and d(x(2)-y(2)) , respectively. Parameters kappa = 0.5140; P = 113 X 10(-4) cm(-1); alpha(2) = 0.7897; alpha = 0.8887; and alpha' = 0.5262 have also been calculated, indicating considerable covalency. The powder spectrum at room temperature is unresolved, whereas it is better resolved at 77 K, with spin-Hamiltonian parameters matching well with the single crystal values of 153 K. Powder spectrum at 77 K has been simulated, which agrees with the experimental one. The spin-lattice relation times are measured from the line width of the resonance lines recorded at different temperature.     

Investigations of the EPR parameters for Sm3+ ions in KY3F10 and LiYF4 crystals

In this paper, we calculate the EPR parameters (g factors g parallel, g perpendicular and hyperfine structure constants A parallel, A perpendicular) of rare earth ion Sm3+ in fluoride crystals KY3F10 and LiYF4 from the perturbation formulas of EPR parameters for a 4f5 ion in tetragonal symmetry. In these formulas, the crystal-field J-mixing of the first and second excited-state multiplets 6H(7/2) and 6H(9/2) into the ground state multiplet 6H(5/2), the mixtures among the states with the same J value via spin-orbit coupling interaction and the interactions between the ground Kramers doublet Gammagamma and the same irreducible representation as Gammagamma in other 11 Kramers doublets Gammax within 6HJ (J=5/2, 7/2, 9/2) states via crystal-field and orbital angular momentum (or hyperfine structure) are considered. The calculated results (which are in agreement with the observed values) are discussed.     

EPR and optical absorption studies of Cu2+ doped L-arginine phosphate monohydrate single crystals--part II

The EPR spectra of Cu2+ ion in L-Arginine phosphate monohydrate (LAP) at X-band frequencies at room temperature reveal the presence of two magnetically inequivalent interstitial Cu2+ sites in the lattice. The principal values of the g- and A-tensors indicate rhombic symmetry around the Cu2+ ion. From the direction cosines of the principal values of the g- and A- tensors, the orientations of the sites in the lattice have been identified. The bonding parameters were evaluated and the ground state wave function of Cu2+ ion was constructed. The ground state is found to be an admixture of [x2 - y2> and [3z2 - r2> orbitals. The optical absorption studies show four bands centered at 9803, 10753, 15748 and 16666 cm(-1) confirming the rhombic symmetry around the Cu2+ ion. Using the observed bands the crystal field parameters have been evaluated.     

Studies of the trigonal field parameters and g factors for magnetic semiconductor NaCrS2

The trigonal field parameters v and v' of magnetic semiconductor NaCrS2 are calculated from the superposition model, and its g factors g parallel and g perpendicular are calculated from the high-order perturbation formulas of 3d3 ions in trigonal symmetry obtained by the one and two spin-orbit coupling parameter models. These calculations are based on the structural data of NaCrS2 crystal. The calculated results suggest that the superposition model is effective to the analyses of the low-symmetry field parameters of 3dn ions in crystals and that the two spin-orbit coupling parameter model (where the contributions from both the spin-orbit coupling parameter of 3dn ion and that of ligand are considered) is preferable to the one spin-orbit coupling parameter model (in which the contribution from only the spin-orbit coupling parameter of 3dn ion is considered) in the explanations of g factors in the cases that ligands have large spin-orbit coupling parameter in 3dn clusters.

Heat capacities and related thermal properties of DyNi5, HoNi5 and ErNi5 between 5 and 300 K

Heat capacity data and calculated thermodynamic functions are presented for DyNi₅, HoNi₅ and ErNi₅. λ-type thermal anomalies are noted at 12.0 K (DyNi₅), 4.1 K (HoNi₅) and 8.0 K (ErNi₅). Schottky-type anomalies are observed at higher temperatures. The λ and Schottky anomalies are ascribed to the destruction of ferromagnetic order and to crystal field excitation, respectively. A deficiency of magnetic entropy, compared to Rln(2J + 1), is noted corresponding roughly to Rln2. This suggests that the ground state in the ordered materials is a doublet. ErNi₅ is analyzed using a Hamiltonian containing terms representing the crystal field and magnetic interactions. The analysis shows that a doublet ground state can result with reasonable values of the crystal field parameters. The parameters are shown to be consistent with the heat capacity behavior of ErNi₅. Ordering temperatures are not proportional to the de Gennes function.     

Synthesis and spectroscopic studies on iron(III) complexes of 1-benzotriazol-1-yl-1-[(p-X-phenyl)hydrazono]propan-2-one

A new series of iron(III) complexes are synthesized from the reaction of the polyfunctional ligands 1-benzotriazol-1-yl-1-[p-X-phenyl]hydrazono]propan-2-one (X=H, Cl, NO(2), CH(3) or OCH(3) corresponding to HL(1),HL(2), HL(3), HL(4) or HL(5), respectively, with iron(III) chloride in the presence of LiOH by the conventional and microwave induced energy methods. The conventional method led to the formation of [FeL(3)].nH(2)O but the microwave induced energy gave [FeLCl(2)], n=1-3 and L is the anion of HL(1)-HL(5). The complexes are characterized by the elemental analysis, molar conductivity, magnetic and spectral (FT-IR, UV-vis and ESR) studies. The magnetic and spectral studies showed that [FeLCl(2)] are polymeric octahedral, [Fe(L(1))(3)].H(2)O is a low spin octahedral and (d(xz),d(yz))(4) (d(xy))(1) ground state, [FeL(3)].nH(2)O, L=anion of HL(4) or HL(5) and are octahedral with intermediate spin (S=32) with ground state (d(xy))(2)(d(xz),d(yz))(3) electronic configuration while for the anions of HL(2) and HL(3), they have (t(2g))(3)(e(g))(5) admixed with (d(xy))(2)(d(xz),d(yz))(3) configurations. From the ESR data, the contribution of the high spin (S=52) and low spin (S=32) to the quantum mechanical spin intermediate (QMS), and the crystal field parameters Delta and V are calculated and related to the electronic and steric effects of the ligands. The electronic spectral data confirm that obtained from the ESR, and the different ligand field parameters as well as the pi-->t(2g), t(2g)-->e(g), e(g)-->pi*, pi-->pi* transitions are estimated and compared with that experimentally obtained.

Studies of EPR parameters for Mn5+ -doped Li3PO4 and Li3VO4 crystals

The EPR parameters (zero-field splitting D and g factors g parallel, g perpendicular) of Mn5+ -doped Li3PO4 and Li3VO4 crystals are calculated from the complete high-order perturbation formulas based on a molecular orbital scheme for a 3d2 ion in tetragonal MX4 clusters. These formulas include not only the contribution coming from crystal-field excitations, but also that arising from charge-transfer excitations (which is discarded in crystal field theory). The calculated results are in reasonable agreement with the observed values. The contributions to EPR parameters coming from the charge-transfer excitations are comparable with those arising from the crystal-field excitations. It appears that for a high valence state 3dn ion in crystals, the reasonable explanations of EPR parameters should take the contributions due to both crystal-field and charge-transfer excitations into account.     

ESR and optical study of Mn2+-doped sodium hydrogen orthophosphate dihydrate

ESR study of Mn(2+)-doped sodium hydrogen orthophosphate dihydrate (SHOD) single crystals is done at room temperature. The Mn(2+) spin-Hamiltonian parameters have been evaluated employing a large number of resonant line positions observed for different orientations of the external magnetic field. The values of g, A, B, D, E and a are: 2.0042+/-0.0002, 86+/-2 x 10(-4)cm(-1), 83+/-2 x 10(-4)cm(-1), 238+/-2 x 10(-4)cm(-1), 76+/-2 x 10(-4)cm(-1), 13+/-1 x 10(-4)cm(-1) for site I and 2.0032+/-0.0002, 86+/-2 x 10(-4)cm(-1), 83+/-2 x 10(-4)cm(-1), 238+/-2 x 10(-4)cm(-1), 76+/-2 x 10(-4)cm(-1), 13+/-1 x 10(-4)cm(-1) for site II, respectively. The optical absorption study of the crystal is also done. The observed bands are assigned as transitions from the (6)A(1g)(S) ground state to various excited quartet levels of a Mn(2+) ion in a cubic crystalline field. These bands are fitted with four parameters B, C, D(q) and alpha and the values found for the parameters are B=777 cm(-1), C=3073 cm(-1), D(q)=755 cm(-1), and alpha=76 cm(-1). On the basis of the data obtained the surrounding crystalline field and the nature of metal-ligand bonding are discussed.
