Impurity-InducedgShift of Conduction Electrons

Conduction electron spin-flip scattering by impurities in copper

“…-The magnetic field at the centre of the symmetrized line in conjunction with the known microwave frequency allows calculation of the g-value of the resonance. Although the addition of impurities may, in principle, produce a gshift, this shift must be compared to the increase in linewidth to ascertain whether it should be observable in practice [32]. We find that within the limits of error there are no discemable g-shifts either with impurity concentration or temperature over the range 1.5-20 K. The g-value of 2.033 ± 0.001 observed for many alloys agrees with the known pure copper gvalue [13,31].…”
