Synopsis

This book provides an introduction to the underlying theory, fundamentals, and applications of EPR spectroscopy, as well as new developments in the area. Knowledge of the topics presented will allow the reader to interpret of a wide range of EPR spectra, as well as help them to apply EPR techniques to problem solving in a wide range of areas: organic, inorganic, biological, and analytical chemistry; chemical physics, geophysics, and minerology.

• Includes updated information on high frequency and multi-frequency EPR, pulsed microwave techniques and spectra analysis, dynamic effects, relaxation phenomena, computer-based spectra simulation, biomedical aspects of EPR, and more
• Equips readers with sufficient knowledge of EPR techniques to go on in their specialized area of interest
• Provides problem sets and concise bibliographies at the end of each chapter, plus several tutorial appendices on topics like mathematical operations, quantum mechanics of angular momentum, experimental considerations.

From the Back Cover

An introduction and tutorial on electron paramagnetic spectroscopy

Bringing a classic text up to date after three decades of popularity, Electron Paramagnetic Resonance: Elementary Theory and Practical Applications, Second Edition provides a basic understanding of the underlying theory, fundamentals, and applications of electron paramagnetic spectroscopy (EPR).

Choosing to develop a sound base of knowledge rather than comprehensive coverage, the authors cover the basics along with:

• Exciting new developments and current trends and techniques
• Updated information on high-frequency and multi-frequency EPR
• Pulsed microwave techniques and spectra analysis
• Dynamic effects
• Relaxation phenomena
• Computer-based spectra simulation
• Biomedical aspects of EPR
• The application of EPR techniques to problem solving in such areas as organic, inorganic, biological, and analytical chemistry; chemical physics; geophysics; and mineralogy

Written to serve as both a self-study guide for professionals and a textbook for students, this Second Edition will equip readers with the foundation necessary to apply EPR to their own specialized fields of interest.
