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. How to thank TFD for its existence?

We will polarize lanthanum nuclear spins by using a dynamic nuclear polarization upon a paramagnetic electron spin resonance (ESR) in a single crystal of a lanthanum compound. Butadiene soot particles also had strong, solid-state free-radical character in electron spin resonance analysis. To make the measurements, the team used an electron spin resonance spectrometer that gives highly precise results. |
