Abstract

We present an X- and Q-band continuous wave (CW) and pulse electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study of a manganese doped [NH4][Zn(HCOO)3] hybrid framework, which exhibits a ferroelectric structural phase transition at 190 K. The CW EPR spectra obtained at different temperatures exhibit clear changes at the phase transition temperature. This suggests a successful substitution of the Zn2+ ions by the paramagnetic Mn2+ centers, which is further confirmed by the pulse EPR and 1H ENDOR experiments. Spectral simulations of the CW EPR spectra are used to obtain the temperature dependence of the Mn2+ zero-field splitting, which indicates a gradual deformation of the MnO6 octahedra indicating a continuous character of the transition. The determined data allow us to extract the critical exponent of the order parameter (β = 0.12), which suggests a quasi two-dimensional ordering in [NH4][Zn(HCOO)3]. The experimental EPR results are supported by the density functional theory calculations of the zero-field splitting parameters. Relaxation time measurements of the Mn2+ centers indicate that the longitudinal relaxation is mainly driven by the optical phonons, which correspond to the vibrations of the metal–oxygen octahedra. The temperature behavior of the transverse relaxation indicates a dynamic process in the ordered ferroelectric phase.
