Abstract

The EPR spectra of manganese and gadolinium doped PbTe and SnTe semiconductors were measured from 4.2K up to 400K for dopant concentrations ranging from 50 to 50000 ppm. Resolved fine, hyperfine and superhyperfine structure as well as forbidden and cluster lines were measured. The combination of Lorentzian absorption and dispersion derivatives fits the recorded spectra well. Nonlinear broadening of linewidths with temperature is characteristic in these semiconductors. A manganese-induced broad maximum in linewidth versus temperature was found in PbTe around 180K for dopant concentrations in excess of 1.5at%.
