Short Description:

Continous-wave EPR-Spectrometer operating at X-band (9–10 GHz) and Q-band (34–36 GHz) microwave frequencies.

Picture of the Equipment

 EPR Spectrometer

Available Experiments/Techniques:

continuous-wave EPR, including 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
 
Recent Publications, where this instrument was
important (citation):
Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 48 (2009) 404–407
 
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))
– measurement of short-lived (>10 ns) paramagnetic intermediate states (triplet states, spin-polarized radical-pair states)
