22. Paraffin is known to be transparent in the far infrared.
23. This line shape suggests that the effect is due to a change in center resonance frequency with field.
24. H structures in Fig. 2.
25. -1 structure.
26. The similarity between temperature and field effects argues strongly for the spin-vibrational coupling. The similarity would not be expected for other mechanisms such as magnetostriction or various magnetic excitations.
27. -1 does not depend on temperature up to 10 K.
