Abstract:
A multifrequency Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) investigation of Ce3+ impurities in PbWO4 (PWO) single-crystals at the conventional microwave (CMF) frequency 9.43 GHz, and at the 95, 190 and 285 GHz high frequencies (HF) was carried out. The multifrequency CMF and HF −EPR analysis gives a good description of the local symmetry of the Ce3+ impurities in PWO and estimates the crystal field splitting of the corresponding ground multiplet.
