Author Description

Focusing primarily on isolated paramagnetic species, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance is designed to provide senior undergraduate and graduate students as well as professionals with the essential understanding of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) needed to use this technique and be active in various specialized fields of interest. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance enables those with no previous background in quantum mechanics to gain a fundamental grasp of EPR. It helps those with some such training to acquire more sophisticated mathematical and quantum-mechanical skills and a knowledge of powerful theoretical and experimental techniques - tools that will allow them to interpret a wide range of EPR spectra. This important work also introduces many exciting new EPR developments in progress, including time-resolved spectroscopy, which involves the acquisition of EPR data for shortlived species. In addition, it highlights the increasing complexity of the experimental equipment currently used, including spectrometers that operate both in the classical continuous-wave mode and in pulsed mode. This book also discusses how computers can direct spectrometer control and data acquisition, analyze data to yield to underlying parameters and produce accurate simulated spectra.
