ESR studies on γ-irradiated silver-doped potassium nitrate at LNT indicated the presence of Ag2+ centres. Principal values of g- and A-tensors are obtained. Admixture coefficients of d-orbitals have been calculated. On warming the sample the signals due to Ag2+ centres disappeared at 140 K. © 1995.
