Paramagnetic Resonance in Chromous Sulfate Pentahydrates

Abstract

Paramagnetic resonance absorption in single crystals of chromous sulfate pentahydrate has been observed at room temperature and at wavelengths of 11 mm, 6.5 mm, and 5.4 mm. The result shows that this crystal has a structure similar to that of copper sulfate pentahydrate. The observed data have been analyzed by the so-called spin Hamiltonian, and the parameters determined have been found to be quite consistent with the values of the spin-orbit coupling constant and the spin-spin interaction constant obtained from spectroscopic data.
