Magnetic field. effect on the hyperfine-induced electron spin motion in radicals undergoing diamagnetic-paramagnetic exchange
نویسنده
چکیده
A semiclassical description of the hyperfine-induced spin motion of radical pairs suggested recently [K. Schulten and P. G. Wolynes, J. Chem. Phys. 68, 3292 (1978)] has been generalized to arbitrary magnetic field situations. Analytical expressions for the elements of the electron spin correlation tensor < S(o) S (t) > averaged over all nuclear spin configurations are derived and applied to calculate the time evolution of the electron spin state of radical pairs initially prepared in a singlet state. The treatment includes the possibility that the radicals undergo a diamagnetic-paramagnetic exchange reaction. The effect of such exchange on the magnetic field dependence of the radical pair (triplet) recombination is predicted.

Changes are induced in the electron spin resonance signal amplitude and microwave power saturation of the naturally occurring free radical in melanin by bound paramagnetic ions. The changes serve as experimental observables in competition experiments between diamagnetic and paramagnetic metal ions for melanin binding sites and between melanin and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid for paramagnetic...

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...

The magnetisation and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrum of two specimens of tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C), deposited from a filtered cathodic arc, were measured over a wide temperature range. The magnetisation was found to consist of superparamagnetic, paramagnetic and diamagnetic contributions. The superparamagnetic contribution resembled that recently found in carbon prepared from ...
متن کاملTheory of Saturation and Double Resonance Effects in Electron Spin Resonance
The theory of saturation and line widths in the electron spin resonance spectra of dilute solutions of free radicals has been extended to include incipient effects of chemical exchange and spin-spin or Heisenberg exchange processes as well as the effects of intramolecular terms such as the g-tensor, spin-rotational, and electron-nuclear dipolar (END) interactions. The development is based on an...
