Electron spin resonance of Er3+ in YBiPt

Abstract: Electron spin resonance (ESR) experiments at 4.15 K of Er 3 ÷ in YBiPt show that Er 3 ÷ is in a site of cubic local symmetry, with a Ft83) ground state and an overall crystal field splitting of ~ 85(10) K. We inferred from the spectra the existence of lattice distortions at the rare-earth (RE) site. These results may help in understanding the heavy-fermion system YbBiPt, which has the same structure as YBiPt.

“…To obtain information about the local symmetry the Er 3+ ions that occupy the sites of Y atoms [6] were added to the material with a ratio not more than 1%. The spectra have been registered by both Q-band (ν = 35.8 GHz) and X band (ν = 9.41 GHz) Varian E-line ESR spectrometers between 4 K to 300 K. To make a reliable analysis for the crystal field symmetry a DC magnetic field was applied in different directions with respect to crystal axes by rotating the electromagnet and then the ESR spectra were recorded as a function of the magnetic field.…”
