Weil L.A., Bolton J.R. (Eds.) Electron Paramagnetic Resonance: Elementary Theory and Practical Applications

2nd Edition. — Wiley, John & Sons, 2007. — 687 p.
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.Basic Principles of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance
