SUPERPOSITION MODEL ANALYSIS FOR THE ZERO-FIELD SPLITTING OFMn2+IN SOME CRYSTALS

Abstract

The Newman superposition model has been applied to second-order zero-field splitting parameter [Formula: see text] taken from the literature for Mn2+in Hg(ClO4)2· 6 H2O , M ″ SiF6·6 H2O (M ″= Fe, Co, Zn ) and M ″ NbOF5·6 H2O (M ″= Co, Zn ). In the calculations, the local lattice relaxation has been taken into account. It is shown that nearly the same value of intrinsic parameter b2=-0.057(8) cm-1is obtained.
