title: EPR, optical and modeling of Mn(2+) doped sarcosinium oxalate monohydrate.
abstract: Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study of Mn(2+) ions doped in sarcosinium oxalate monohydrate (SOM) single crystal is done at liquid nitrogen temperature (LNT). EPR spectrum shows a bunch of five fine structure lines and further they split into six hyperfine components. Only one interstitial site was observed. With the help of EPR spectra the spin Hamiltonian parameters including zero field splitting (ZFS) parameters are evaluated. The optical absorption study at room temperature is also done in the wavelength range 195-1100 nm. From this study cubic crystal field splitting parameter, Dq=730 cm(-1) and Racah inter-electronic repulsion parameters B=792 cm(-1), C=2278 cm(-1) are determined. ZFS parameters D and E are also calculated using crystal field parameters from superposition model and microscopic spin Hamiltonian theory. The calculated ZFS parameter values are in good match with the experimental values obtained by EPR.
