Paramagnetic Resonance Absorption in Mn-Activated Hexagonal ZnS

Abstract

The absorption spectrum of divalent Mn incorporated into hexagonal ZnS has been determined. The anisotropic behavior of the absorption has been measured, yielding the crystalline field parameters $D=\ensuremath{-}113\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}2$ and $F=\ensuremath{-}8.1\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1$ oersteds. The $g$ value and hyperfine splitting were observed to be isotropic, with values, respectively, of 2.0016\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.0001 and of -70\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1 oersteds.
