Abstract
We present cw and pulsed EPR experiments on in the rutile and anatase phases of . For the rutile phase, the cw data confirm earlier results, but the relaxation data are different from those previously reported. No earlier results for in the unreduced pure anatase phase exist. We show that a simple point-charge model can be used to interpret the values of the g tensors, but that models considering only nearest neighbors will give erroneous results. We conclude that the observed is substitutional in the rutile, but interstitial in the anatase phase. We propose a relaxation mechanism through phonon-modulated hyperfine coupling to explain our data in the rutile phase.
