EPR spectra and linewidths of Mn2+ in calcite

The constants corresponding to the spin-Hamiltonian terms without cylindrical symmetry for Mn2+ in calcite (CaCO3) have been measured by EPR techniques; it is shown that the principal axes of the spin Hamiltonian are rotated 15.5°from the crystal axes. This value allows us to obtain information abou...
