Abstract

It is shown that the introduction of a very small amount of nonmagnetic impurities into the magnetic sites of a classical two-dimensional antiferromagnet creates a new type of static (impurity-pinned) soliton that affects the Arrhenius, exp(E/T), temperature-dependent electron paramagnetic resonance linewidth by drastically changing the parameter E. Data just above the transition temperature for (C3H7NH3)2MxMn1xCl4 confirm the existence of these impurity-pinned solitons.
