Instrument: Bruker ELEXSYS E580

Electron Spin Resonance (ESR), also called Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), is a branch of spectroscopy concerned with electromagnetic radiation (usually microwave frequency) that causes transitions between magnetic energy levels of electrons with unpaired spins.

Specifications

The ESR spectrometer works in X and Q-bands with a 10" magnet. Electrochemical and special flat cells are available that can be used in room temperature studies. There are also liquid helium cryostats to be used with the standard X-band cavity, and thus from 4 K to room temperature. measurements can be made.

Analyzes

• Sürekli Dalga ( CW) ESR
• Pulse- ESR
• Low temperature experiments

Sample Requirements

The method can be applied to solid and liquid samples.

Applications

• Kinetics of radical reactions
• Crystal fields in single crystals
• Recombination at low temperatures
• Free radicals in living tissues and fluids
• Polymer properties
• Behavior of free radicals during corrosion
• Archaeological dating
• Effects and harms of radiation
