Product Details

This book explains the foundations of pulse EPR, a field of spectroscopy which has now come of age and has found widespread application in investigations of structure, dynamics, and function of biological systems and synthetic materials. For the first time a systematic overview of the whole field is given, including coverage of Fourier-transform EPR, relaxation measurements, electron spin echo envelope modulation (ESEEM), pulse electron- nuclear double resonance (ENDOR), pulse electron-electron double resonance (ELDOR), transient nutation, and a number of advanced techniques. Researchers approaching the field will find here the basic theory as well as a description and critical evaluation of the existing methods needed for selecting the proper experiment, conducting it, and analysing the results. The experienced researcher active in the field should find this book a useful reference and a guide to adapting EPR pulse sequences to new problems.

... a magnificent book, which deserves special praise for having achieved a truly exemplary balance between theory and experimental approaches ... an important source for graduate students, postdocs, researchers and lecturers in physics, chemistry, biology, biochemistry, environmental sciences, materials science, spectroscopy, who want to acquire a solid knowledge of the foundations of pulse EPR that could initiate them into research with absolute confidence. Current Engineering Practice This book addresses both young and experienced scientists interested in this field of research ... For the first time a systematic overview of the whole field is given.
