Description

The EPR spectra of impurity Dy3+ ions in aluminium borates YAl3(BO3)4 and EuAl3(BO3)4 have been investigated. The signals from the ground and excited doublets were observed and the g-factors and constants of the superfine interaction were determined. From the temperature dependence of signal intensity of the excited doublet the energy distances of (3.26 ± 0.13) cm-1 and (2.54 ± 0.16) cm-1 between the ground and excited doublets were obtained for YAl3(BO3)4 and EuAl3(BO3)4, respectively. The absorption line broadening with increasing temperature is connected with the strong spin-phonon interaction and is described by the Orbach-Aminov process via the excited doublet. It is found that the decrease in g-factor is caused by the spin-phonon interaction
