Description

The environment of Gd3+/Eu2+(4f7,S=72) in Ca1-xRxB6(R=Gd,Eu;0.0001=<x=<0.30) is studied by electron spin resonance (ESR). For x < or approx. 0.001 the spectra show Lorentzian shape (insulating phase). As x increases, the spectra present a superposition of Lorentzian and Dysonian resonances (coexistence of insulating and metallic phases). For x < or approx. 0.01, the line shape becomes pure Dysonian (metallic phase). Thus, the intermediate concentration regime of Ca1-xRxB6 is intrinsically inhomogeneous. These compounds show no weak ferromagnetism
