Abstract
The principal g values of the ground‐state doublets of Dy3+, Er3+, and Yb3+ in monoclinic YCl3 and LuCl3 have been measured using EPR at 9.6 kMc/sec and 4.2°K. The results show little variation between the two host lattices, indicating their use for the interpretation of the bulk properties of the concentrated trichlorides. The principal g values of Ce3+ and Nd3+ in YCl3 have also been measured. It is found that the g values may be accounted for to a first approximation by a distorted octahedral cubic crystal field.Keywords
