electron spin resonance (ESR)
- electron spin resonance (ESR)
-
Technique of spectroscopic analysis (see
spectroscopy) used to identify paramagnetic substances (see
paramagnetism) and investigate the nature of the
bonding within molecules by identifying unpaired
electrons and their interaction with their immediate surroundings.
Unpaired electrons, because of their
spin, behave like tiny
magnets and can be lined up in an applied magnetic field; energy applied by alternating
microwave radiation is absorbed when its frequency coincides with that of
precession of the electron magnets in the sample. The graph or spectrum of radiation absorbed as the field changes gives information valuable in chemistry, biology, and medicine.
