Abstract

X-band EPR measurements have been made on single crystals and powders of PbTe doped with Mn below 100 ppm. A seven-fold splitting of each Mn hyperfine structure line is shown to arise from tellurium superhyperfine structure. Microwave saturation results are presented which indicate that the spin-lattice relaxation time is different for different superhyperfine lines. This asymmetry is not readily explained by conventional models.
