Re-Interpretation of EPR Spin-Hamiltonian Parameters bm2 for Gd3+–O2– Center in the Tetragonal Phase of Perovskite-Type Compound Rb1–xKxCaF3 with x = 0.05
Abstract
The spin-Hamiltonian parameters b22, b2–1 and b20 for Gd3+–O2– center in the tetragonal phase of Rb0.95K0.05CaF3 perovskite-type compound are studied by the superposition model which considers the (GdOF5)4– octahedron distortion related to the elongation or release of the metal–ligand bond lengths in the octahedron. The parameters b m2 can be reasonably explained, and information for the local phase transition behaviour is obtained.
