Introduction to Practical EPR Spectroscopy

By: Hagen, Wilfred R.

Introduction to Practical Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) Spectroscopy of randomly oriented molecules finds wide application in chemistry, biology, and many other related disciplines. This graduate-level text guides the reader along the winding road of the undocumented pitfalls and unwritten rules-of-thumb that come with undertaking practical EPR spectroscopy. The aim is to provide a truly practical and complete introduction to this widely used method. With the required quantum mechanics limited to an indispensable minimum, the book comprehensively treats the basic theoretical and practical aspects of the methodology to educate the reader to the level of an independent EPR researcher in all aspects, including problem posing, sample preparation, machine operation, data collection and interpretation, numerical analysis, and scientific reporting.

Many EPR books have been written as expositions of the quantum-mechanical background of magnetic resonance, but without addressing critical practical questions in the lab including but not limited to: what knobs to turnhow to make sampleswhat programs to use (or not use)how to present experimental resultsIntroduction to Practical EPR Spectroscopy offers a complete preparation (both theoretical and practical) to be an independent EPR spectroscopist in what may be a non-specialist laboratory. It is written primarily for PhD, master's and postdoctoral students and their tutors across biochemistry, organic, inorganic, bioinorganic and physical chemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, molecular physics, materials science, and geology.
