Abstract:
The Q-band electron spin echo (ESE) spectrometer which was created using modern microwave components is described. This simple incoherent apparatus was used with the X-band one for the study of phosphate and silicate glasses doped with non-Kramers rare earth Tb3+ ions. the EPR spectra measured by the ESE method have frequency independent peaks. The experimental results presumably show the existence of several types of paramagnetic centers in studied systems. © 1992 Springer.
