Paramagnetic Resonance: An Introductory Monograph

Paramagnetic Resonance: An Introductory Monograph by George Edward Pake is a comprehensive guide to the principles and applications of paramagnetic resonance. The book covers the basic theory of paramagnetic resonance, including the spin Hamiltonian, Zeeman interaction, and the various relaxation mechanisms. It also includes a detailed discussion of the instrumentation and experimental techniques used in paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.The book begins with an introduction to the principles of paramagnetism and magnetic resonance, followed by a discussion of the spin Hamiltonian and its application to paramagnetic resonance. The Zeeman interaction is then introduced, along with its effect on the resonance frequency and the resulting spectral lineshape.The book also covers the various relaxation mechanisms that can affect the resonance signal, including spin-lattice relaxation, spin-spin relaxation, and electron-nuclear relaxation. The instrumentation used in paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy is also discussed in detail, including the various types of spectrometers, probes, and sample preparation techniques.Throughout the book, Pake provides numerous examples and applications of paramagnetic resonance, including studies of free radicals, transition metal ions, and other paramagnetic species. The book also includes a chapter on the use of paramagnetic resonance in the study of biological systems.Overall, Paramagnetic Resonance: An Introductory Monograph is an essential reference for researchers and students in the fields of chemistry, physics, and biology who are interested in the principles and applications of paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
