Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Applications

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book shows how the fundamentals of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy are practically implemented and illustrates the diversity of current applications. The technique is used at various levels, and applications are presented in order of increasing difficulty, with reference to theoretically obtained results. This book features a diverse array of application examples, from fields such as ionizing radiation dosimetry, neurodegenerative diseases, structural transitions in proteins, and the origins of terrestrial life. The final chapter of this book highlights the principles and applications of the technique of ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy, followed by a brief introduction to advanced EPR techniques such as electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM), hyperfine sub-level correlation (HYSCORE), pulsed electron-electron double resonance (PELDOR), and continuous wave electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) experiments.

Autorenporträt

Thirty authors and their collaborators, all specialists in their field, have contributed to this volume. The coherence between the different chapters was ensured by Patrick Bertrand, a renowned specialist in EPR spectroscopy, author of the first volume on the fundamentals of EPR.

Rezensionen

"The book targets graduate students and researchers who are interested in acquiring the broad background knowledge needed to interpret the spectra and understand the applications of EPR technique. A set of problems, with hints to solutions, covers a wide range of difficulty." (Christian Brosseau, Optics & Photonics News, osa-opn.org, October 1, 2020)
