Short Description:

Continous-wave/pulsed EPR-Spectrometer operating at X-band (9–10 GHz) and W-band (94–96 GHz) microwave frequencies.

Picture of the Equipment

 EPR Spectrometer

Available Experiments/Techniques:

all currently available pulsed and continuous-wave methods, including pulsed electron–nuclear double resonance (ENDOR), pulsed electron–electron double resonance (PELDOR, DEER), and transient EPR (TREPR)
Special Equipment:

Low temperature unit (cryostat/resonator) for temperature range from 5 to 300 K.
Optical sample excitation (pulsed Nd:YAG/OPO laser system: 430–800 nm, 6 ns pulse length, <10 Hz laser pulse repetition rate)
Goniometer for measurements of oriented samples (single crystals, liquid crystals) 

Measurements on the equipment are currently done by: Students after extensive training
Trained scientific service personal

important (citation):
FEBS J. 276 (2009) 4290–4303;
J. Phys. Chem.B 112 (2008) 3568–3574
 
Typical problems that may be solved with this instrument: – identification of radicals
– electronic structure determination of paramagnetic centers (organic radicals, transition metal ions, defect centers, optically excited states (triplets, radical pairs))
– distance measurements between two paramagnetic centers
– determination of hyperfine couplings, dipolar and exchange interaction parameters, g-tensors, quadrupole tensors
