PHONON AND PHOTON PARAMAGNETIC RESONANCE LINESHAPES IN RUBY.
Abstract
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and acoustic paramagnetic resonance (APR) lineshapes have been measured for four transitions in ruby at 5.924 GHz. Cr concentrations varying from .005 per cent to 1 per cent were used. Second moments were calculated from the APR lines; half-widths were calculated from both EPR and APR lines. A theory is presented which yields the second moment in terms of sums over exchange and dipole-dipole interactions between Cr pairs. It is shown that the theory predicts moments much larger than measured due to the fact that the stronger Cr-Cr interactions lie outside the observed line. A qualitative calculation of the moment from the known interactions supports this conclusion. Finally, half-widths for both APR and EPR lines are compared and shown to be equal. (Author)
