The spin Hamiltonian parameters and the local structures of the substitutional V4+ centres in rutiletype MO2 (M = Sn, Ti and Ge) are theoretically investigated from the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a 3d1 ion in a rhombically compressed octahedron. The oxygen octahedra around V4+ are found to transform from the original elongation on the host M4+ site to compression in the impurity centres due to the Jahn-Teller effect. The calculated spin Hamiltonian parameters based on the above local structures show good agreement with the experimental data.

The local structures and the spin Hamiltonian parameters (the g-factors g|| and g⊥ and the superhyperfine parameters A||′ and A⊥′) are quantitatively studied for the two Rh2+ L and H centers (denoting the tetragonally elongated and compressed [RhBr6]4− clusters at low and high temperatures, respectively) in AgBr using the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a 4d7 ion in tetragonally elongated and compressed octahedra. From the studies, the elongated L center originates from the relative elongation of the parallel Rh2+–Br− bonds by about 0.081 Å along the C4 axis because of the Jahn–Teller effect. Nevertheless, the compressed center H is attributed to one next nearest neighbouring Ag+ vacancy VAg along the C4 axis as the charge compensator, which compels the intervening ligand Br− in the Rh2+ and the VAg to shift away from the latter by about 0.148 Å because of the electrostatic repulsion. All the calculated spin Hamiltonian parameters based on the above local structures are in good agreement with the experimental data for both centers.

The spin Hamiltonian parameters and local structure for the tetragonal Rh 2+ center in rhombohedral BaTiO 3 are theoretically studied from the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a 4d 7 ion with low spin (S=1/2) in tetragonally elongated octahedra. This center is ascribed to substitutional Rh 2+ at the Ti 4+ site in BaTiO 3. The [ RhO 6]10- cluster suffers relative elongation (characterized by the elongation parameter ρ ≈ 0.9%) along the [100] axis due to the Jahn–Teller effect. The tetragonal elongation can entirely depress the slight trigonal distortion of the original Ti 4+ site in rhombohedral BaTiO 3. The calculated spin Hamiltonian parameters based on the above Jahn–Teller elongation show good agreement with the experimental results.

The spin Hamiltonian parameters (the g factors, the hyperfine structure constants, and the superhyperfine parameters) and the local structures for various Rh2+ centers OI, OII, and RTAX in NaCl are theoretically investigated from the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a 4d7 ion in tetragonally and orthorhombically elongated octahedra. The related molecular orbital coefficients and the ligand unpaired spin densities are determined quantitatively from the cluster approach in a uniform way. The centers OI, OII (orthorhombic) or RTAX (tetragonal) are attributed to the substitutional Rh2+ on Na+ site, associated with two, one or none next nearest neighbour cation vacancies VNa along [100] (or [010]) axis, respectively. The ligand octahedra in the orthorhombic centers OI and OII are found to suffer the relative elongations ΔZ ≈0.071 and 0.068 °A along the [001] axis due to the Jahn-Teller effect, and the intervening ligand(s) in the VNa and the Rh2+ may undergo the inward displacements ΔX ≈ 0.001 and 0.011 A° towards Rh2+, respectively. As for the tetragonal center RTAX, the uncompensated [RhCl6]4− cluster is found to experience the relative elongation ΔZ ≈ 0.067 °A along the [001] axis of the Jahn-Teller nature. The calculated spin Hamiltonian parameters based on the above local structures show good agreement with the observed values for all the centers.

The spin-Hamiltonian (SH) parameters (g factors g∥ , g⊥ and hyperfine structure constants A∥, A⊥) for the Co2+ ion in the tetragonal Zn2+ site of a Ba2ZnF6 crystal are calculated from the secondorder perturbation formulas based on the cluster approach for the SH parameters of 3d7 ions in tetragonal symmetry with the effective spin S = 1/2. In the calculations, a reduction factor due to the dynamical Jahn-Teller effect is used. The calculated results are in reasonable agreement with the experimental values, suggesting that the dynamical Jahn-Teller effect should be considered here. The defect structure of the Co2+ center in Ba2ZnF6:Co2+ is also obtained from the calculations. The results are discussed.

The defect structure and spin Hamiltonian parameters ([Formula: see text] factors [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and the hyperfine structure constants [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) for the tetragonal [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] ceramics are theoretically studied from the perturbation formulas of these parameters for a [Formula: see text] ion in a tetragonally elongated octahedron. The impurity [Formula: see text] center exhibits the larger relative tetragonal elongation ratio [Formula: see text] than that [Formula: see text] of the host [Formula: see text] site due to the Jahn–Teller effect. The relationship between the [Formula: see text] anisotropy [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] and the local tetragonal distortion is analyzed. The present studies would be helpful to the understandings of delocalization of the [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] orbitals under tetragonal elongation distortion and its role in superconductivity of oxygen cuprates.
