Distribution of Mn2+ Manganese Ions in a Single Crystal of the Lithium–Gallium Li0.5Ga2.5O4 Spinel

A self-organization of eight structurally and magnetically nonequivalent positions of manganese Mn 2+ ions in the unit cell of a single crystal of the lithium–gallium Li 0.5 Ga 2.5 O 4 spinel is demonstrated. These ions are self-distributed over such positions and minima of the crystal field potenti...

Description
Summary:A self-organization of eight structurally and magnetically nonequivalent positions of manganese Mn 2+ ions in the unit cell of a single crystal of the lithium–gallium Li 0.5 Ga 2.5 O 4 spinel is demonstrated. These ions are self-distributed over such positions and minima of the crystal field potential. The self-organized structures form during the crystal growth. Such a self-distribution of manganese ions is observed and studied in the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra.
