EPR Studies of Copper-Doped Potassium Dihydrogen Citrate (C6H7KO7) Single Crystal
Özet
The magnetic environments of Cu2+-doped potassium hydrogen citrate (C6H7KO7) complex have been identified by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique. The angular variation of the EPR spectra has shown that three different Cu2+ complexes are located in different chemical environments, and each environment contains one magnetic Cu2+ site occupying substantial positions in the lattice and showing a very high angular dependence. The principal g and the hyperfine structure parameter (A) values of three sets of Cu2+ complex groups are determined. The covalency parameter, mixing coefficients and Fermi-contact term of the complex are obtained, and the ground-state wave function of the Cu2+ ion in the lattice has been constructed.
