description

Abstract Magnetic resonance investigations of the Gd3 + centre structure in the oxyfluoride glass and glass–ceramics (GCs) have been carried out. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements showed the presence of low symmetry Gd3 + centres in the glass sample. The cubic Gd3 + centre appeared in the glass–ceramics after heat treatment of the samples at temperatures above 650 °C. The magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) measurements of both glass and glass–ceramics showed wide absorption band around 310 nm. In the GC samples MCD–EPR of the cubic Gd3 + centre has been detected.
