A series of high quality FexGa1−xBO3 single crystals with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 was prepared and studied by electron magnetic resonance in the temperature range from 4 to 290 K. At low x, only the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of diluted Fe3+ ions is present. The EPR spectra for different orientations of the magnetizing field have been computer simulated. With a conventional spin Hamiltonian including the Zeeman and fine-structure terms, two different sets of best-fit parameters have been found. This ambiguity has been resolved on the basis of the general spin Hamiltonian with parameters determined from the crystallographic data using the Newman superposition model. A detailed fitting to the experimental EPR spectra assuming statistical distributions of Fe3+ ligand coordinates has revealed the existence of a certain degree of local disorder in FexGa1−xBO3 single crystals.< Réduire
