Electron Paramagnetic Resonance of Pu3+ in Cubic Symmetry Sites in CaF2, SrF2, and BaF2

The g values of the ground Γ7 state of Pu3+ in cubic symmetry sites in CaF2, SrF2, and BaF2 are 1.297 ± 0.001, 1.250 ± 0.002, and 1.187 ± 0 004, respectively, as measured at T = 1.2°K by EPR techniques. By fitting the g values, estimates of the crystalline-field parameters are derived. It is shown t...

Description
Summary:The g values of the ground Γ7 state of Pu3+ in cubic symmetry sites in CaF2, SrF2, and BaF2 are 1.297 ± 0.001, 1.250 ± 0.002, and 1.187 ± 0 004, respectively, as measured at T = 1.2°K by EPR techniques. By fitting the g values, estimates of the crystalline-field parameters are derived. It is shown that crystalline-field effects for Pu3+ in the alkaline-earth fluorides are the same order of magnitude as in the lanthanide series.
