Electron Paramagnetic Resonance: A Practitioner's Toolkit

摘要

When I started learning about EPR spectroscopy during my first year in graduate school, there were many excellent reference books that taught the fundamentals of magnetic resonance from the foundation of a spin Hamiltonian. Although these books were important, I found that the most useful reference in terms of getting started in the field was the manual that came with a 20-year-old Varian E-3 EPR spectrometer housed in my laboratory. This manual featured a brief explanation of the electronic Zeeman effect along with the requisite energy level diagram showing how the energies of the sublevels of an S = 1/2 electron spin system varied with an applied magnetic field.
