Electron paramagnetic resonance and electron nuclear double resonance of 237-neptunium hexafluoride in uranium hexafluoride single crystals

Abstract
The EPR and ENDOR spectra of 237NpF6 molecules dilutely substituted for host molecules in single crystals of UF6 at temperatures between 1.2 and 2.1 °K have been obtained at microwave frequencies, ∼9.4 and ∼9.7 GHz. Approximate values are given for the parameters in a spin Hamiltonian formalism that describes the measurements. The results are discussed.
