Here we report electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study of rare-earth paramagnet CsGd(MoO4)2. Multifrequency EPR measurements allowed us to directly probe the splitting of the lowest8S7/2multiplet of Gd3+ion and revealed the rhombic type of single-ion anisotropy. An easy-axis anisotropy approximation with a rhombic distortion of the Gd3+local environment describes obtained EPR spectra and yield energies of8S7/2splitting. Within this model, we discuss the configuration of the lowest Gd3+multiplet, its zero-field splitting, and the anisotropy of magnetic properties in CsGd(MoO4)2. We argue that the zero-field splitting of8S7/2induces a multiple structure of EPR spectra in CsGd(MoO4)2.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
