Paramagnetic Resonance of Cu2+ and Ti3+ Ions in Borax Beads

Abstract

Paramagnetic resonance absorption has been observed in borax beads containing CuH and Ti3+ ions. In these cases broad lines were observed near g = 2, but hyperfine structure was also apparent in the case of the CuH ions, making it possible to estimate average values of the spin Hamiltonian parameters. Analysis of the results indicated that the CuH and Ti3+ ions occurred in octahedral complexes with very strong axial deformations.
