Values of the FMR/EPR parameters (Ai – amplitude, H0i – resonance field, ΔHi – linewidth) for four components (two in case of sample 3) of the observed spectra. Each component has been attributed to a specific phase detected in XRD measurements. In each case (except for sample 3 with Lorentzian lineshape) the Dysonian lineshape of a particular component was assumed. Subscripts L and h stand for low and high field components of a specific phase, respectively.
