Magnetic resonances in low-dimensional spin systems

1992

Abstract We present magnetic resonance experiments in the frequency range of 35 to 460 GHz at low temperatures (1.5 K) for the two compounds CsNiCl 3 and (CH 3 ) 4 NMnCl 3 (TMMC). In both cases the large frequency range enables us to make a precise determination of the various coupling constants (exchange interactions and anisotropy parameters). For CsNiCl 3 we found a larger interchain exchange than previously determined. These constants can then be used for a critical evaluation of other related experiments. In TMMC we found resonances which cannot be explained by existing models.
