A new electron spin paramagnetic resonance spectrum in CaF2 doped with uranium is attributed to U4+. The spectrum possesses axial symmetry about the 〈111〉 directions and is describable by a spin Hamiltonian with g⊥=0±0.15 and gII=3.238±0.005 at 4.2°K. The trigonal symmetry is due to the presence of charge compensating O2- ions along the 〈111〉 directions. The spectrum is absent in crystals grown under reducing conditions. Similar results were also observed in SrF2 and BaF2.
