A single crystal of brucite, Mg(OH)2, containing manganese impurity to the extent of 100 parts per million, has been studied by means of the electron spin resonance (esr) technique. The study was made at room and liquid air temperatures. The observed absorption spectrum has been successfully interpreted in terms of parameters found in the appropriate spin-Hamiltonian. The measured values of these parameters at room temperature were found to be:[Formula: see text]
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.
