Measurement of electron paramagnetic resonance using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Uncertainty in terahertz time-domain spectroscopy measurement

Measurements of optical constants at terahertz—or T-ray—frequencies have been performed extensively using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). Spectrometers, together with physical models explaining the interaction between a sample and T-ray radiation, are progressively being developed. Nevertheless, measurement errors in the optical constants, so far, have not been systematically anal...

The measurement of temperature with electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.

An electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique, potentially suitable for in vivo temperature measurements, has been developed based on the temperature response of nitroxide stable free radicals. The response has been substantially enhanced by encapsulating the nitroxide in a medium of a fatty acid mixture inside a proteinaceous microsphere. The mixture underwent a phase transition in the te...

Demystifying EPR: A Rookie Guide to the Application of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy on Biomolecules

Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, also known as Electron Spin Resonance(ESR) especially among physicists, is a strong and versatile spectroscopic method forinvestigation of paramagnetic systems, i.e. systems like free radicals and most transition metalions, which have unpaired electrons. The sensitivity and selectivity of EPR are notable andintriguing as compared to other spec...

Gas sensing using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy

A method for detection and identification of polar gases and gas mixtures based on the technique of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy is presented. This relatively new technology promises to be the first portable far-infrared spectrometer, providing a means for real-time spectroscopic measurements over a broad bandwidth up to several THz. The measured time-domain waveforms can be efficiently p...
