title: Optically detected magnetic resonance in bismuth-doped silica glass.
abstract: We report on the observation of optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) in bismuth-doped silica glass. To explain the results of the experiment we adopted the intramolecular charge transfer model for Bi(5+)O(n)(2-) molecules in the frame of a semiempirical molecular orbitals approach. The results of our calculations are in good agreement with observed features of luminescence and ODMR experiments.
