Abstract
The electron spin resonance of Mn2+ ion impurities in natural crystals of tremolite, 2(H2Ca2Mg5-(SiO3)8), was studied in the 9.2 GHz microwave frequency range, and at room temperature. The work was done on two crystals of tremolite containing different concentrations of Mn2+. In each case only one magnetic complex of Mn2+ was found. The resonance lines are characterized by a strong angular dependence of the line intensities, and this is coupled with the appearance of many forbidden lines of Mn2+. The resonance lines of the allowed transitions were fitted to a spin Hamiltonian of orthorhombic symmetry.
