The EPR powder spectra of Gd 3+ doped LaAlO 3 are simulated for a number of temperatures between 4 and 800 K by means of the usual spin‐Hamiltonian. Values are found for the zero field splitting parameters B(n , 0) only, which agree with single crystal measurements. For an accurate simulation of the axial powder spectra a variable linewidth has to be introduced, because an inhomogeneous broadening of the resonances in the xy plane is observed. This broadening is successfully described by a variable B (2, 2) parameter. This indicates that the Gd 3+ ion does not fit within the LaAlO 3 lattice, because GdAlO 3 is not isostructural with LaAlO 3 . Crystal field calculations support this assumption.
