Abstract
The Er3+ electron spin resonance spectrum at low temperatures in powdered Sc.9988Er.0012H1.91 contains a Γ7 doublet and associated hyperfine components with cubic site symmetry plus four additional resonances arising from two distinct transitions with axial site symmetry. The axial lines are attributed to octahedral site occupation by protons in the vicinity of some Er3+ impurities. The two axial transitions may be associated with two different types of distortions of the Γ7 wave functions or possibly a Γ8(1) quartet ground state.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
