The F-center slow-and fast-passage electron spin resonance has been observed in LiF, LiCl, NaF, NaCl, NaBr, KC1, and KBr. The hyperfme coupling of the F electron to nuclei neighboring the negative-ion vacancy has been measured by electron-nuclear double resonance. Root second moments of the resonance absorption, obtained from slow passage, agree with values calculated from the hyperfme constants. In the case of LiF, the partially resolved structure existing on the slow passage resonance line is shown conclusively to arise from the F center. These experimental results, together with those of previous workers, are compared with the theory of Gourary and Adrian.
