Kurzbeschreibung
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 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.
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.
