The hyperfine structure has been investigated in the EPR spectra of X-irradiated KCl:CrOz-, Ca2+ and KBr: CrOz-, Ca2* crystals. Preliminarily spectra were simplified by means of heating the crystals up t o 400 K for KC1 and 440 K for KBr, that destroys the less stable Cr0i-e V i centers. It is ascertained, t h a t principal directions of 9-and Atensors do not coincide, and principal A-values are determined. Calculations, making use of the experimental meanings of 9-and A-tensor components, showed, that the degree of distortion of oxygen tetrahedra in CrOi-. Ca2+ . V: centers is almost the same in both KCl and KBr crystals; besides, these calculations suggest the existence of a strong covalent bonding between the central Cr5+ ion and four oxygen ligands in (3-034-ions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
