Abstract

An ESR study of

v_{F}

centers in single crystals of MgO enriched in

{}^{17}O

is reported. The

{}^{17}O

hyperfine tensor components are found to be

| {t_{∥}}^{17} | = 104.5 \pm 0.5

G and

| {t_{⊥}}^{17} | = 14.5 \pm 0.5

G. From these results and those for

g_{∥}

and

g_{⊥}

, two parameters of the

O^{-}

ion in MgO are determined: The hyperfine interaction parameter

α^{17}

is found to be 22.8 G and the average of

r^{- 3}

over the

2 p

orbital is

{< r^{- 3} >}_{s} = 2.75 \times 10^{25}

{cm}^{- 3}

.
