The tetragonal distortion for the tetragonal V2+-V-M center in KBr:V2+ crystal is estimated by analyzing its EPR data from two theoretical models, one is the two spin-orbit (S.O.) parameter model where the contributions to EPR parameters from both the S.O. coupling of the central metal ion and that of the ligands are considered and another is the conventional one-S.O.-parameter model where only the contribution from the S.O. coupling of the central metal ion is included. The result from the two-S.O.-parameter model is more than ten times that of the one-S.O.-parameter model. The reasonableness of the former is discussed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
