EPR Investigations on the Dynamic Behaviour of Hole Centres in CaWO4

By X-irradiation holes are created in the p-orbitals of oxygen ligands of the WO2–4 complexes of CaWO4. These holes are stably trapped at temperatures below 150 K and are characterized by a hyperfine interaction with the W183 nuclei of two neighboured WO4 tetrahedra. When raising the temperature from 4.2 to 77 K this interaction changes from an inequivalent to an equivalent one. This thermally activated change is accompanied by a reorientation of the g-tensor and a maximum in the EPR linewidth. Durch Rontgenstrahlung werden Locher in den p-Orbitalen der Sauerstoffliganden der WO2–4. Komplexe von CaWO4 gebildet. Diese Locher sind stabil bei Temperaturen unterhalb 150 K und sind durch eine Hyperfeinwechselwirkung mit den W183-Kernen von zwei benachbarten WO4-Tetraedern charakterisiert. Wenn die Temperatur von 4,2 auf 77 K erhoht wird, andert sich diese Wechselwirkung von einer nichtaquivalenten zu einer aquivalenten Wechselwirkung. Diese thermisch aktivierte Anderung ist von einer Umorientierung des g-Tensors und einem Maximum der EPR-Linienbreite begleitet.
