Abstract

ESR studies of the rare earth ions Gd, Dy, and Er in Cerium metal are reported for the first time. Evidence that the ESR measurements were performed in the α-Cerium phase is provided. Comparison of our results with previous α-La:Gd and Th:Gd ESR studies supports the idea that the f band contribution to the ESR linewidth and g shift in α-Ce can be neglected. This assumption enable us to extract the enhancement factors of the host d-s and f conduction bands of α-Ce as well as the impurity-conduction electron exchange parameters for Gd, Dy and Er in α-Ce.
