Paramagnetic Ge–Li centres in alpha quartz revisited: The DLi([GeO4/Li]0D) centre

Abstract: A previously unreported stable paramagnetic defect centre in single-crystal alpha-quartz has been studied by quantitative X-band electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy at 15, 100, and 296 K, and is shown to contain a Ge 3+ ion, presumably located substitutional for Si 4+ , with a nearby interstitial Li + ion. The centre, called D Li herein, grows in slowly (months) after room-temperature x-irradiation and storage. Hyperfine structure arising from 73 Ge, 7 Li, and 29 Si has been observed. The spin-Hamilto… Show more

“…The resulting diamagnetic [GeO 4 ] 0 defect in quartz can be transformed by ionising radiation at <100 K into two paramagnetic [GeO 4 ] – centres (Table S1), which are distinguished by the orbital of the unpaired spin lying along the different O–Ge–O bisectors of the GeO 4 tetrahedron (Mackey, 1963; Isoya et al , 1978; McEachern et al , 1992; McEachern and Weil, 1994). On warming above 150 K or irradiation at room temperature, the [GeO 4 ] – centres can capture M + ions (Li + , Na + and Ag + ) released from associated [AlO 4 /M + ] 0 centres and form the [GeO 4 /M + ] 0 centres (Table S1; Mackey, 1963; Weil, 1971; Weil, 1984; Rakov et al , 1985; Dickson et al ., 1991; McEachern et al , 1992; McEachern and Weil, 1994; Claridge et al , 2008).…”
