Ground state energy levels of $Gd^{3+}$ ion (effective spin S = 7/2) in $PbWO_4$ single crystal doped with $Gd^{3+}$ paramagnetic impurity at tetragonal symmetry are calculated with spectroscopic splitting parameters and zero field splitting parameters using by effective spin Hamiltonian. It turns out that the zero field splitting energies of $Gd^{3+}$ ion were the same regardless of the directions of $PbWO_4$ : Gd single crystal. The calculated energy differences for ${\mid{\pm}7/2}$ > ${\leftrightarrow}{\mid{\pm}5/2}$ >, ${\mid{\pm}5/2}$ > ${\leftrightarrow}{\mid{\pm}3/2}$ >, and ${\mid{\pm}3/2}$ > ${\leftrightarrow}{\mid{\pm}1/2}$ > transitions were 6.9574 GHz, 6.9219 GHz, and 15.8704 GHz, respectively when the applied magnetic field is zero. The calculated energy level diagrams were different for different directions of applied magnetic field. For B // a- and c-axis, the energy level diagrams are calculated and discussed.

Ground state energy levels of the $Fe^{3+}$ paramagnetic impurity ion in stoichiometric $LiTaO_3$ and in congruent $LiTaO_3$ single crystals were calculated with electron paramagnetic resonance constants. Energy levels between six energy levels were obtained with spectroscopic splitting parameter g and zero field splitting constant D for $Fe^{3+}$ ion. The energy diagrams of $Fe^{3+}$ ion were different from different magnetic field directions ([100], [001], [111]) when magnetic field increases. The calculated ZFS energies of $Fe^{3+}$ ion in stoichiometric and congruent $LiTaO_3$ single crystals for ${\mid}{\pm}5/2$ > ${\leftrightarrow}{\mid}{\pm}3/2$ > and ${\mid}{\pm}3/2$ > ${\leftrightarrow}{\mid}{\pm}1/2$ > transitions were 12.300 GHz and 6.150 GHz, and 59.358 GHz and 29.679 GHz, respectively. It turns out that energy levels of $Fe^{3+}$ paramagnetic impurity in $LiTaO_3$ crystal are different from different crystal growing condition.

Electron magnetic resonance (EMR) of paramagnetic Cr$^{3+}$, Mn$^{2+}$, and Fe$^{3+}$ impurity ions in ferroelectric LiNbO$_3$ and LiTaO$_3$ single crystals has been studied. The actual sites location of paramagnetic impurity ions in the crystals was suggested from the experimental results and zero field splitting parameters calculated by superposition model. It turns out that Cr$^{3+}$ ions in LiNbO$_3$ crystal have two resonance centers and enter both the Li$^{+}$ and Nb$^{5+}$ ions. Mn$^{2+}$ and Fe$^{3+}$ impurity ions in LiNbO$_3$ substitute for Nb$^{5+}$ ions. However, both Cr$^{3+}$ and Fe$^{3+}$ ions in LiTaO$_3$ crystal reside at Li$^{+}$ ions.$ +/ ions.+/ ions.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) of Fe$^{3+}$ in LiTaO$_3$ single crystal, grown by Czochralski method, has been studied by employing an X-band spectrometer. Resonance spectra of Fe$^{3+}$ ion on the crystallographic principal axes were obtained with 9.447 ㎓ at room temperature. The spectroscopic splitting parameter g and zero-field splitting (ZFS) parameter D (= 3 B$_{2}$sup 0/) are calculated with effective spin Hamiltonian. Fe$^{3+}$ center in stoichometric single crystal turns out to be different with that in congruent single crystal reported previously. From the analysis of temperature dependence of resonance fields for Fe$^{3+}$ ion, there is no any phase transition at the temperature range (from -160 $^{\circ}C$ to 20 $^{\circ}C$).
