Abstract: | The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of Cu2+-doped RbH2 PO4 at elevated temperatures indicate a phase transition at 358 K. The EPR-silent state at this temperature is attributed to a so-called polymeric phase transition. After the transition when the temperature is lowered to 293 K, the EPR signal does not appear; therefore, the transition is irreversible. This result seems to be in agreement with the other observations. The EPR spectra for the sample indicate the presence of two sites for Cu2+, and the values of EPR parameters are in accord with the literature on Cu2+-doped single crystals. Any other phase transitions could not to be observed at low temperatures down to 113 K. |
