Abstract

An electron-spin-echo experiment has been performed on V4+ paramagnetic impurities in a single crystal of TiO2. The high microwave dielectric constant of TiO2 and the simple geometry of the sample give rise to high-Q dielectric resonant modes in the sample. The strong interaction between the paramagnetic impurities and the dielectric modes produces multiple spin echoes when two microwave pulses are applied under certain conditions. A simple model is presented to explain the process of multiple-echo formation, and a quantum-mechanical description is given.
