Electron Magnetic Resonance: Applications in Physical Sciences and Biology

Electron Magnetic Resonance: Applications in Physical Sciences and Biology, Volume 50, describes the principles and recent trends in different experimental methods of Electron Magnetic Resonance (EMR) spectroscopy. In addition to principles, experimental methods and applications, each chapter contains a complete list of references that guide the reader to relevant literature. The book is intended for both skilled and novice researchers in academia, professional fields, scientists and students without any geographical limitations. It is useful for both beginners and experts in the field of Electron Spin Resonance who are looking for recent experimental methods of EMR techniques.

Features a bottoms-up approach, with each chapter opening with basic theory and principles that are followed by recent trends and applicationsFocuses on applications and data interpretation, thus avoiding extensive use of mathematicsIncludes content from scientists working with lead manufacturers of EMR machinesProvides thorough comparisons of the features of each EMR machineWritten by experts in ESR spectroscopy from all over the world, giving the content global appeal
