Anomalies of the angle-dependent EPR line spectrum and its satellites due to the long-time tails in one- and two-dimensional Heisenberg paramagnets are treated in the high-temperature limit by making use of a new mode-coupling theory. Its numerical results are compared with experimental data for TMMC and (C2HsNHa)2MnCI 4.
The electron paramagentic resonance (EPR) in oneand two-dimensional Heisenberg magnets exhibits the following anomalies in the high-temperature region: (1) The line shape is non-Lorentzian. (2) Satellite lines appear at multiples of ~0o where ,%(--gl~BH/h) is the Zeeman frequency. The anomalies of the EPR in d-dimensional magnets are due to a long-time t -d/2 tail in the time correlation functions which couple to hydrodynamic processes. In a one-dimensional magnet, i.e., TMMC, the main line and the 2 ~00 satellite line have been accounted for from this point of view by Lagendijk and Schoemaker in qualitative agreement with experiment [1,2]. Benner has also carried out a similar analysis in two-dimensional magnets [3]. They used a mode-decoupling approximation for the memory spectrum, which seems to be insufficient to clarify how the long-time tail is cut off so as to give finite intensities at resonances ,0 = _+mo0. Recently, the present authors have developed a mode-coupling continued-fraction representation of the absorption spectrum by taking account of all higherorder couplings to the spin diffusion process and shown that it gives a systematic method for investigating the EPR spectrum, including the satellite line and the cutoff of the long-time tail due to the dipole-dipole interaction [4,5]. We have also explored an extended theory, on the basis of our previous theory [4,5], in order to treat Heisenberg systems with the dipole-dipole interaction and other anisotropic interactions [6], whose Hamiltonian is given by H = H E + H D + H A + H K + Hz,
(1)
where HE, HD, HA, H K and H z are the exchange interaction, the dipole-dipole interaction, the uniaxial anisotropic exchange interaction, the single-ion anisotropy and the Zeeman term, respectively. Each term of (1) takes the form
H E = -2JEESioSj, i >j
H o = ~-~.E ( g21~/r~ )[ S / . ~ - (3/r, 2 )( rij. s )( rij.S j )], i >j
H~ = A Z E [ i>j

The normalized relaxation function X~(t) of the Fourier transform of the # component of the spin density S~ with wave vector k is defined by
--'~(t) =- ( S ~ ( t ) I S ~ ) / ( S ~ I S ~ ) ,
(# = +, 0).
where ( . . . [... ) denots the canonical average. By employing the new mode-coupling continued-fraction representation [4,5], the relaxation spectrum .~[ito], the Laplace transform of the normalized relaxation function, can be written as -0u[io~] = l / ( i • - i/u% + 4~,0 [i~ ]),
(3)
where q~l~,0[io~] is the memory spectrum whose recurrence formulae have been derived by the present authors [4-6], The EPR line spectrum is given by the real part of (3). If a set of parameters of (2) satisfies the following relations: ~'(3)hoao+A - K / 3 = 0 , Z(3)h~0 D - 2A + K / 3 = O,
(1 dim.), (2 dim.),
(4)
then, the effect of the long-time tail in the memory spectrum may vanish and q~,0[i0~] reduces to an ~-independent function ~,~(0), where ~ o = g2#2/c3h, and ~'(3) and Z(3) are Zeta functions which come from the dipole sum on the one-dimensional linear chain and the twodimensional square lattice, respectively. Thus, in these special cases, (3) reduces to the Lorentzian line spectrum: .7~[io~]= 1/[i0~-i/u%+~,~(0)], where 0 is the angle between the external magnetic field and the magnetic chain axis in the one dimension or the normal of the magnetic plane in the two dimension, respectively. Figs. 1 and 2 show the numerical results calculated from (3) for the one- and two-dimensional magnets, i.e., TMMC and (C 2H 5NH 3)2 MnCI 4, respectively. In these figures, the angular dependence of the peak-to-peak derivative line width, AHpp, and its peak-to-peak height of the main line and the 2o:0- and 3a~0-satellite lines of the spectral function calculated from (3) with A = K = 0
