Book Description

ISBN-10: 0198506341 | ISBN-13: 978-0198506348 | Publication Date: December 15, 2001 | Edition: 1

Pulse EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance) is one of the newest and most widely used techniques for examining the structure, function and dynamics of biological systems and synthetic materials. Until now, however, there has been no single text dedicated to this growing area of research. This text addresses the need for a comprehensive overview of Pulse EPR. The book covers the basic theory of pulse EPR, as well as a description and critical evaluation of the existing and emerging methods needed for selecting and conducting the proper experiment and analyzing the results. This is an indispensable reference for all scientists who need a thorough grounding in this increasingly popular field of spectroscopy.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is a coherent and comprehensive introduction to the methodology of pulse EPR. . . This book will serve for a new generation of EPR spectroscopists as a textbook which provides a sold knowledge of the foundations of pules EPR, the present state of understanding of the methodology of pulse EPR, as a guide-book in this rapidly developing field of science. But this book will be extremely useful not only for beginners. Even experienced practitioners in the filed will gain a fresh look from the high-level experts at the opportunities for new applications and further developments. I am confident that this book will be widely used by radiospectroscopists."--Applied Magnetic Resonance

"Schweiger and Jeschke (they work for private laboratories in Switzerland and Germany) have written a comprehensive overview of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) designed to bring graduate students and specialists up-to-date on the current state of the field. The book is divided into basic theory, experimental techniques, and the general experimental strategy employed for solving application problems, with appendices on sign conventions, mathematics and experimental aspects. Fourier- transform EPR, relaxation measurements, electron spin echo envelope modulation, pulse electron-nuclear double resonance, pulse electron-electron double resonance, and transient nutation are all covered."--SciTech Book News
