The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) g factors g(parallel to) and g(perpendicular to) for Er3+ in CaMoO4 are theo retically investigated by using the perturbation formulas of the g factors for a 4f(11) ion in tetragonal symmetry. In these formulas, the contributions to the g factors arising from the second-order perturbation terms and the admixture of various states are considered. The crystal-field parameters for the tetragonally distorted tetrahedra are determined by using the superposition model and the structural data of the impurity Er3+ on the host Ca2+ site in CaMoO4. The calculated g factors agree with the. observed values. The validity of the results is discussed.
