Handbook of Multifrequency Electron Paramagnetic Resonance
This book delivers an update on recently developed methods, such as rapid-scan ESR and
computational modeling in ESR, as well as up-to-date listings of transition-ion data on
spin Hamiltonian parameters and hyperfine splittings and g-factors for aminoxyl radicals.
