The hyperfine interactions in Eu2+ located substitutionally in CaWO4 have been accurately measured at a temperature of 4.2 °K by the method of electron–nuclear double resonance. These measurements were made in an attempt to determine the effects of the crystal field on the hyperfine interactions by comparison with results obtained for atomic Eu and Eu2+ in CaF2.The results have been fitted with a 12-parameter hyperfine Hamiltonian. Four of these parameters are used to represent an anisotropic quadrupole interaction and three to represent an anisotropic contribution of the form J3I. It is found that the spherically averaged quadrupole interaction is shifted by almost 20% from its value in CaF2. The nuclear g factor is also found to be shitted and anisotropic. These results are discussed in terms of a crystal-field induced shielding of the nuclear moments.

Different types of organic doublet radicals have been investigated in isotropic, nematic, and smectic phases of liquid crystals by performing electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR), general TRIPLE and special TRIPLE experiments. For this purpose phenalenyls (perinaphthenyls), galvinoxyl, tetra- tert.-butylcarbazolyl, and bis(biphenylenyl)propenyl radicals have been chosen including some partially deuterated and 13C-labeled compounds. Anisotropic hyperfine interactions and deuterium quadrupole couplings could be determined. Smectic A phases have proved to be advantageous as compared to nematic phases in these studies. Detailed information about the orientation of the radicals within the liquid-crystalline solvent and about the conformations of the radicals could be obtained.

ABSTRACTThe electron spin resonance (ESR) of a number of vacancy-oxygen complexes created in electron irradiated Si containing oxygen is briefly reviewed. In these centers the unpaired spin density is highly localised (50–70%) on two Si sites within the complex. The ESR spectra of several paramagnetic thermal donors (TD+) formed by annealing oxygen-rich Si at 450 °C for one to several hundred hours are reviewed as well as recent experiments under uniaxial stress from which for the ground state a 2 valley effective mass-like wavefunction was derived. Results of electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) experiments on the TD+ ESR line “NL8” are presented for the first time. They reveal that all TD's identified in IR-spectroscopy are superimposed in the NL8 ESR line and that upon growth of the TD the structure of the core and the symmetry of the TD's is not changed. The hyperfine interactions with up to 7 shells of Si nuclei of 5 TD+'s were determined. Their size and tensor orientations are consistent with the two-valley effective mass-like wavefunction. 4 TD's identified in ENDOR could be correlated with IR-bands from growth kinetics. Although the ENDOR experiments so far do not yet lead to a detailed TD model, the model possibilities are narrowed down considerably by these results. The core must consist of nuclei with very low magnetic abundancy. It is tentatively suggested, that the core contains an O2 molecule.
