Handbook of Electron Spin Resonance: Vol. 1

by Charles P. Jr. Poole, Horacio A. Farach

Overview

Market: Physicists, chemists, biochemists, and biologists. Here's the first book to gather the vast range of experimental data in electron spin resonance (ESR) into a single volume. Concise yet comprehensive, it offers an easy-to-use collection of up-to-date experimental data, methods, and theory. The Handbook includes key contributions from leading scientists and provides over 200 tables and figures. Although specific ESR subfields are covered in numerous books and journals, the Handbook of Electron Spin Resonance is the only comprehensive reference to present extensive tabulation of data and experimental results. The Handbook also provides introductions to theoretical backgrounds, methods, and instrumentation.

Editorial Reviews

Brings together wide-ranging data from diverse disciplines within ESR and integrates it into a comprehensive resource. Features an in-depth coverage of the use of computer techniques in making ESR measurements and processing data; the nature of relaxation in liquids, diluted solids, and concentrated systems; data tabulation of exchange effects, temperature dependence, and motional aspects of various relaxation phenomena; and a survey of the ENDOR literature for radicals in liquids, liquid crystals, single crystals, polycrystalline solids, and biological materials.
