Electron spin resonance of rare earth ions in metallic beryllides: crystalline field 'single-ion' effects

  • 1. Hebrew Univ., Jerusalem (Israel). Racah Inst. of Physics

Description

The effects of a low lying GAMMA8(1) excited state on the ESR properties of the ground state GAMMA7 doublet are demonstrated for the rare earth ions Er and Dy in the beryllides LaBe13, LuBe13 and ThBe13. The analysis of the ESR results yields a rough estimate of the GAMMA7-GAMMA8(1) splitting. Further, the ESR data, including those of Gd in the same hosts, suggest the near independence of the localised conduction electron coupling on the rare earth 4f occupation number. (author)
