Abstract :
The crystal field parameters (CFPs) of Mn2+ doped Ammonium Catena - Di-?-Chromatodiammine Cadmium (II) (ACD) single crystal are determined using superposition model (SPM). The zero field splitting parameters (ZFSPs) D and E are then found with the help of perturbation and microscopic spin Hamiltonian (SH) theory. The evaluated D and E show reasonable agreement with the experimental values from electron paramagnetic resonance. The results indicate that the Mn2+ ion enters the lattice substitutionally at Cd2+ site in ACD crystal. The procedure used here may be applied for the modeling of other ion-host systems.
