Abstract Resonant absorption of microwaves in CuGeO3 single crystals in a frequency band of 40 to 120 GHz, in magnetic field B⩽15 T, at temperatures ranging between 0.5 and 300 K, and in the configuration B∥a has been investigated. Several absorption lines (S 0, S a, and S b) whose parameters strongly depend on temperature have been detected close to ESR. The temperature dependence of the total absorption in the main line S 0 with the Landé g-factor g 0=2.154 at temperatures above the spin-Peierls transition temperature is in good agreement with Bonner and Fisher’s theoretical prediction for a one-dimensional Heisenberg spin chain. In addition to the main resonance, a resonance of smaller amplitude, S a, with the g-factor g a=2.72 has been detected at temperatures ranging down to a characteristic temperature T≃1 K, below which the amplitude of this feature drops to zero. A radical restructuring of the magnetoabsorption spectrum occurs at the temperature of the spin-Peierls transition T SP≈14 K. At T〈12 K new features emerge in the spectrum, namely, a broad absorption line overlapping with the narrow lines S 0 and S a, and a line S b with g b=1.83, which is not detected at temperatures above T SP. An analysis of amplitudes and total absorption of ESR lines as functions of temperature has shown that the temperature range below 1 K is anomalous, which may be caused by an additional ordering in the CuGeO3 magnetic subsystem at low temperatures.
