Fe(III) low spin(S=1/2) system with Fe(III) high spin impurty (S=5/2)

Post by vijayatr »

Dear Easy spin community,
I am having Fe(III) S=1/2 low spin system with S=5/2 high spin impurity. I tried to do two component fitting. Here g 2.21 corresponds to isotropic low spin and 4.97, 2.16, 1.98 corresponds to high spin peaks. I have to add small D and use isotropic g value. Unfortunately if I use the parameters mentioned below, I am not getting splitting at low field. Am I missing any concepts? Any help improving the simulation will be highly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Hello,
I would try first anisotropic LS with g 2.21, 2.16 and 1.98 and the HS with g=2, large D and E/D around 0.3.
