Stabilized silver atoms are obtained at 77 °K by irradiating alkali halide crystals (LiCl, NaCl, and KCl) containing silver ions with X‐ray. The properties of these stabilized atoms are studied by PR (paramagnetic resonance). It is found that the silver atoms occupy the cationic sites of the crystals studied. The dependences of the hyperfine and superhyperfine interaction constants on the lattice constant, i.e. on the distance from the surrounding chlorine ions, are studied. The temperature dependences of the hyperfine and superhyperfine structure constants of silver atoms in the case of LiCl: Ag are also studied.
