This volume provides a detailed examination of the physical basis for EPR imaging and in vivo EPR spectroscopy, experimental arrangements, and data analysis. The EPR imaging methods described include continuous wave, spin-echo-detected and ENDOR-detected EPR with constant, stepped, modulated, and pulsed magnetic field gradients. Applications described include inhomogeneous materials, diffusion kinetics, reaction kinetics, orientation of liquid crystals, microwave distributions, magnetic field distributions, superconductors, radiation damage, and defects in solids. The book also covers other topics important to in vivo studies, including in vivo EPR spectroscopy, low-frequency EPR, state-of-the-art low-frequency EPR instruments, achievable sensitivity, and spin labels. The book will be of great interest to graduate students, researchers, and medical instrument developers who use EPR, as well as clinicians and chemists interested in the relationship between in vivo radicals (such as superoxide and diseases).

Since its inception 50 years ago, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR, also called ESR or EMR) has become a major tool in diverse fields ranging from biology and chemistry to solid state physics and materials science. This important book includes personal descriptions of early experiments by pioneers who laid the foundations for the field, perspectives on the state of the art, and glimpses of future opportunities. It presents a broad view of the foundations of EPR and its applications, and will therefore appeal to scientists in many fields. Even the expert will find here history not previously recorded and provocative views of future directions.

There is a growing need in both industrial and academic research to obtain accurate quantitative results from continuous wave (CW) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments. This book describes various sample-related, instrument-related and software-related aspects of obtaining quantitative results from EPR expe- ments. Some speci?c items to be discussed include: selection of a reference standard, resonator considerations (Q, B ,B ), power saturation, sample position- 1 m ing, and ?nally, the blending of all the factors together to provide a calculation model for obtaining an accurate spin concentration of a sample. This book might, at ?rst glance, appear to be a step back from some of the more advanced pulsed methods discussed in recent EPR texts, but actually quantitative “routine CW EPR” is a challenging technique, and requires a thorough understa- ing of the spectrometer and the spin system. Quantitation of CW EPR can be subdivided into two main categories: (1) intensity and (2) magnetic ?eld/mic- wave frequency measurement. Intensity is important for spin counting. Both re- tive intensity quantitation of EPR samples and their absolute spin concentration of samples are often of interest. This information is important for kinetics, mechanism elucidation, and commercial applications where EPR serves as a detection system for free radicals produced in an industrial process. It is also important for the study of magnetic properties. Magnetic ?eld/microwave frequency is important for g and nuclear hyper?ne coupling measurements that re?ect the electronic structure of the radicals or metal ions.
