electron spin resonance

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

electron spin resonance (ESR)

 or electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)

Technique of spectroscopic analysis (see spectroscopy) used to identify paramagnetic substances (see paramagnetism) and investigate the nature of the bonding within molecules by identifying unpaired electrons and their interaction with their immediate surroundings. Unpaired electrons, because of their spin, behave like tiny magnets and can be lined up in an applied magnetic field; energy applied by alternating microwave radiation is absorbed when its frequency coincides with that of precession of the electron magnets in the sample. The graph or spectrum of radiation absorbed as the field changes gives information valuable in chemistry, biology, and medicine.

The team used a technique called electron spin resonance to study the mobility of water molecules within tiny pockets of liquid trapped between crystallites of ice at temperatures down to around -183 degrees C.
00 Hardcover QC763 Electron paramagnetic resonance or electron spin resonance is similar to nuclear magnetic resonance, but with the focus on electron spins instead of the spins of atomic nuclei.
Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy showed that only MK-1 (n = 1), as well as GGF (n = 7) and GFF (n = 8) which had lower cytotoxicity, produced radicals, suggesting the lack of connection between cytotoxicity and radical production.
