EPR investigation of 233U5+ (5f1) in LiNbO3 matrix (Preprint no. SSC-26)

Description

Observation of the hyperfine structure due to 233U (I=5/2) in its pentavalent form stabilized in LiNbO3 is reported. The expected systematics of the hyperfine constant 233A, in octahedral UO47-, (UO5F)6- and (UO4F2)5- shows that with substitution of oxygen by less covalent ligand F-, the 233A decreases contrary to the general expectation. This is understood in terms of crystal field admixtures of upper 7 states into the ground state on increased distortion of the octahedral complex. (author). 3 refs., 1 tab., 1 fig
