Abstract:

The EPR parameters and the hyper-fine electronic spectra of Cr3+: MgAl2O4 crystal were studied using the full energy matrices and the spin Hamiltonian theory. Spinspin (SS) interaction and spin-other-orbit (SOO) interaction were taken into account. The results obtained by theoretical simulation were in good agreement with the experimental findings. The microscopic mechanisms determining the EPR parameters for the 4A2(3d3) state were also studied. The EPR parameters were found to be dependent on four microscopic mechanisms, namely the SO coupling mechanism, the SS coupling mechanism, the SOO coupling mechanism and the SO~SS~SOO combined coupling mechanism. Among the mechanisms, the SO coupling mechanism seemed to be the most important.

Key words: EPR, complete diagonalization method (CDM), Cr3+:MgAl2O4 crystal, spin-spin interaction, spin-other-orbit interaction
