Abstract:
CdGd2(WO4)(4-delta) single crystal was grown using the Czochralski's method. The crystal structure was tetragonal scheelite with lattice parameters a = b = 0.5203 nm and c = 1.1359 nm. There were vacancies of (WO4)(2-), therefore, there were some Gd2+ ions. Langevin paramagnetism and anisotropy were observed from the sigma-T curves at room temperature. The susceptibility chi(//) was 3.5018 x 10(-3), and chi(perpendicular to) was 3.4403 x 10(-2). The anisotropy was also observed in the electron spin resonance (ESR) experiments. The anisotropic Lande factors were g(//) = 2.1333 and g(perpendicular to) = 2.8411. The direction of easy magnetization was in the a-b plane. Anisotropic paramagnetic Curie constants C-// and C-perpendicular to were not only related to macroscopic a that was observed through the experiment, but were also related to J(perpendicular to) and J(//), which were the microscopic quantum numbers of the Gd2+ and Gd3+ ions. Based on the detailed analyses, the proportion of 36.8% of Gd3+ ions to 63.2% of Gd2+ ions in the Gd ions of the CdGd2(WO4)(4-delta) crystal was calculated, and delta was 0.638 in the single crystal.
