Electron spin resonance of Er3+ in YBiPt

Year: 1995

Type: article

Abstract: We report low-temperature electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements in YBiPt, doped with 0.1% Er substituting for Y. The results show that ${\mathrm{Er}}^{3+}$ is located at a cubic lattice site and has a ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Gamma}}}_{8}^{(3)}$ as ground state and an overall crystal-field splitting of \ensuremath{\sim}85(20) K. From the ESR spectra we inferred the existence of lattice distortions at the rare-earth site. These results may help in understanding the heavy-fermion system YbBiPt, which has the same structure as YBiPt.
