AbstractAbstract
[en] EPR measurements have been made at room temperature on Tl2ZnF4 crystals doped with Gd3+ and co-doped with Gd3+ and Li+. For crystals doped only with Gd3+, a spectrum with tetragonal symmetry (A centre) is observed. For co-doped crystals new spectra with tetragonal (B centre) and monoclinic (C centre) symmetries are observed in place of the spectrum of the A centre. The A centre is identified as the substitutional Gd3+ ion at a Zn2+ site in six-fold coordination without any local charge compensation in its immediate neighbourhood. On the basis of spin Hamiltonian separation analysis, the separated parameter b2a(1) for the C centre has a value close to the b20 parameter for the B centre. The B and C centres in co-doped crystals are ascribed to a Gd3+ ion substituted for a Tl+ site in nine-fold coordination, where the divalent excess positive charge on Gd3+ is compensated by a Li+ ion at the Zn2+ site along the c axis. For the C centre, another association with a Li+ ion is found at the nearest Zn2+ site along the [111] direction. The other separated parameter b2a(2) for the C centre has an opposite sign and six times the magnitude of b20 for the Gd3+ centre with trigonal symmetry along the [111] direction in RbCaF3. The large magnitude negative value may be due to the deviation of the ligands toward the Li+ ion at the nearest Zn2+ site
