EPR in LiTbF4 using an HCN laser

The Tb³⁺ electron paramagnetic resonances of a spherically shaped LiTbF₄ single crystal were measured with the static magnetic field along the c-axis, using an HCN laser at 890.8 and 964.3 GHz. At 4.2 K the measured spectrum consists of four hyperfine lines which have a spacing of 25.0± 0.2 mT and a width of roughly 10 mT. The g-factor is 17.75 ± 0.1 at both frequencies. In each hyperfine line of the spectrum at 4.2 K a superimposed structure is seen. This structure is explained by changes in the dispersion of the LiTbF₄ crystal.
