Jahn-Teller effect and features of divalent copper ion behavior in multicomponent borate crystals.
Scientific reports(2024)
Abstract
Crystals of YGa3(BO3)4, YAl3(BO3)4, EuGa3(BO3)4 and EuAl3(BO3)4 with copper alloy were studied by electron paramagnetic resonance and X-ray diffraction analysis. The lattice parameters and coordinates of copper-doped boron atoms were determined. The study of EPR spectra showed that copper is in the divalent state and replaces aluminum ions with C2 node symmetry. In YAl3(BO3)4:Cu crystals, a ligand structure exists due to the interaction of copper electrons with yttrium nuclei. The parameters of the spin Hamiltonian describing the behavior of the Cu2+ spectrum have been determined. The deviation of the Z-axis spectra from the C3 axis by 54(1)° is due to Jahn-Teller vibronic interaction and monoclinic distortion. In the EuGa3(BO3)4 crystal, a new spectrum 2 was found, which also belongs to divalent copper but is observed at an excited state 31 cm-1 away from the ground state. Above 70 K, an isotropic EPR line with a width of 450 Gs, g = 2.1, appears and exists up to room temperature.
