Abstract

The spin Hamiltonian parameters (anisotropic g-factors and the hyperfine structure constants) and defect structure for Pt3+ in MgO are theoretically investigated by using the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a 5d7 ion in a tetragonally elongated octahedron. This impurity center is attributed to substitutional Pt3+ on host Mg2+ sites, and the [PtO6]9 cluster suffers a relative elongation of 0.08Å along the C4 axis due to the Jahn-Teller effect. In the calculations, the contributions arising from the ligand orbital and spin-orbit coupling interactions and the Jahn-Teller elongation are taken into account using the cluster approach. The calculated spin Hamiltonian parameters based upon the above defect structure show good agreement with the observed values.
