ELECTRON-NUCLEAR DOUBLE RESONANCE SPECTRUM OF AN F-CENTER ELECTRON IN ALKALI HALIDES (WITH NaCl STRUCTURE)

From the de Boer model of the F center, a spin Hamiltonian describes the hyperfine interaction of the F-center electron with an arbitrary nucleus in the lattice. This Hamiltonian is used to construct a spin Hamiltonian describing the hyperfine interaction of the F electron with all nuclei in the lattice in the presence of a constant and uniform magnetic field. The electron-nuclear double resonance spectrum for the F electron is deduced. The negativeion vacancy (in a cubic lattice) is an inversion center, and the magnetic field is a pseudovector. Consequently, nuclei at sites which are mapped into each other by an inversion. in the vacancy are physically equivalent. This entire electron-nuclear double resonance spectrum may be viewed as a set of spectra, each associated with the interaction of the F electron with a particular pair of physically equivalent nuclei. This contrasts with theory assuming that the F electron interacts with individual nuclei. The new theory leads improved agreement between calculated and observed spectra. The calculated spectrum is sensitive to the relative sign of the nuclear g factor and the electric quadrupole coupling constant. Data can be used to determine the magnitude and the sign of the electric-field gradient at lattice sites close to the F center. (auth)
