EPR OF Yb(3+) IN SCHEELITE SINGLE CRYSTALS,

Abstract

The electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of the ground state of trivalent ytterbium have been observed in eight laser host single crystals with scheelite structure of 4.2K and X-band frequencies. The crystals used were CdMoO4, CaWO4 CaMoO4, SrMO4, SrMoO4, PbWO4, PbMoO4, and BaWO4. The tetragonal spectra for Yb171, Yb173, and the evenisotopes of ytterbium were best-fit to an axial spin-Hamiltonian. The g-factors were found to have a linear dependencc on the crystal c-axis lattice constant. All ground-state wave functions were found to be Gamma(5,6). (Author)
