Magnetic Properties of Cr-doped LiNbO₃by Using the Projection Operator Technique

Abstract

The electron spin resonance lineshape (ESRLS) function for the electron spin resonance linewidth (ESRLW) of Cr 3+ (S = 3/2) in ferroelectric lithium niobate single crystals doped with 0.05 wt% of Cr, is obtained by using the projection operator technique (POT), developed by Argyres and Sigel. The ESRLS function is calculated to be axially symmetric about the c − axis and analyzed by using the spin Hamiltonianwith the parameters g = 1.972 and D = 0.395 cm. In the ca plane, the linewidths show a strong angular dependence, whereas in the ab plane, they are independent of the angle. This result implies that the resonance center has an axial symmetry along the c − axis. Further, from the temperature dependence of the linewidths that is shown, it can be seen that the linewidths increase as the temperature increases, at a frequency of v = 9.27 GHz. This result implies that the scattering effect increases with increasing temperature. Thus, the POT is considered to be more convenient to explain the scattering mechanism as in the case of other optical resonant systems.Keywords : electron spin resonance linewidth (ESRLW), electron spin resonance lineshape (ESRLS), spin Hamiltonian, projection operator technique (POT), lithium niobate (LN), dynamical electron spin susceptibility (DESS)

Magneto-optical Transitions in Electron-Piezoelectric Phonon Scattering Materials Using Projected Liouville Equation

“…In our previous studies [8][9][10][11][12][13][14], we applied the EAPT theory to Ge and Si, because there are abundant experimental data on nonconfining deformation potential systems. We also compared our numerical calculation results using the EAPT theory with the existing experimental data and found them to be in good agreement with each other.…”

Application of a Continued-Fraction-Based Theory to Line-Profile in Mn-Doped GaN Film

“…Among the techniques, we focus on the projection operator technique (POT) of Kawabata. 8) By using this technique, we succeeded in formulating a response theory, [9][10][11][12][13][14] which includes the Kubo formalism as the lowest-order approximation. The QTLPs derived is similar to those obtained by other techniques.…”
