Abstract

The electron paramagnetic transition of a magnetic ion in light scattering is reported. Intense Raman lines are observed corresponding to the mS=1 transitions within the Zeeman multiplet of Mn++, as well as their combinations with the zone-center longitudinal-optical phonons which interact with band electrons and, in turn, through exchange interaction, with Mn++. The phase transition to the magnetically ordered low-temperature phase is manifested in the evolution of the paramagnetic transition into a magnon line.
