Abstract

Copper and silver, respectively, were introduced into single crystals of CsCdF3. Our detailed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study showed that both elements enter the Cd lattice site—copper as Cu2+, silver as Ag+, which then was converted into Ag2+ by x raying the corresponding samples. Cu2+ and Ag2+ were shown to present in their ground state a pseudostatic Jahn–Teller effect. Motional effects were observed in the respective EPR spectra and studied in some detail for Cu2+ as they are seen over a wide temperature range. Predictions of a stochastic Kubo model [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 9, 935 (1954)] were compared with the temperature dependent linewidths of the motionally averaged EPR spectrum. A power law (Tn with n1.9) was determined for the temperature dependence of the reorientation frequency between 30 and 90 K.
