Glasses of the x CuO · (100 - x)[3 B 2 O 3· 0.9 PbO · 0.1 Ag 2 O ] system, with 0.5 ≤ x ≤ 10 mol %, were prepared and investigated by means of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements. Structural details of different diamagnetic vitreous systems may be revealed by the Cu 2+ ions, frequently used as paramagnetic probes in EPR experiments. The shape and the intensity of the recorded EPR lines are dependent on the CuO content. The EPR spectra are asymmetric, with characteristics for Cu 2+ (3d9) ions in axially-distorted octahedral symmetric sites. Due to the interaction of the unpaired electron spin (s = 1/2) with the nuclear one (I = 3/2) of Cu 2+ ions, the characteristic hyperfine structure (hfs) is visible for small concentrations of CuO in both spectra bands (parallel and perpendicular). The increasing of copper content in the samples generates the EPR absorption spectra modification, the hfs being resolved in the parallel band of the spectra in whole compositional range, while in the perpendicular band, hfs disappear for x > 3 mol %. This fact indicates the structural modification in Cu 2+ vicinity and possible magnetic interactions.

AbstractGrowth conditions and electron paramagnetic resonance investigations of two well oriented KSm(WO4)2 and KEr(WO4)2 single crystals have been presented and discussed. Hyperfine structure of Sm3+ ion was detected and analyzed for angular and temperature dependences. EPR spectra of KEr(WO4)2 and its angular dependence showed the presence of 5 magnetically nonequivalent Er centers in the crystal. A change in the type of magnetic interactions was analyzed using mixed (Gaussian and Lorentzian) fits of the EPR spectra.

Evidence of noise induced effects in electron-paramagnetic-resonance (EPR) experiments is reported. The phenomenon of Stochastic Resonance is presented and discussed as a cooperative effect between the noise and an external periodic driving, due to the bistable character of the EPR system.

Abstract Electron paramagnetic resonance was used in conjunction with X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy to quantify total copper and reacted copper retentions in MCQ and MCA treated Canadian red pine sapwood and western hemlock heartwood. Total copper retentions were distinctly different between earlywood and latewood of both softwood species examined. Earlywood of red pine sapwood had higher total copper content than the latewood, while western hemlock heartwood had higher total copper contents in latewood than earlywood. The reacted copper concentrations were similar in earlywood and latewood, reflecting a similar capacity of each to solubilize and complex the reacted copper.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy on protein single crystals is the ultimate method for determining the electronic structure of paramagnetic intermediates at the active site of an enzyme and relating the magnetic tensor to a molecular structure. However, crystals of dimensions typical for protein crystallography (0.05 to 0.3mm) provide insufficient signal intensity. In this work, we present a microwave self-resonant microhelix for nanoliter samples that can be implemented in a commercial X-band (9.5 GHz) EPR spectrometer. The self-resonant microhelix provides a measured signal-to-noise improvement up to a factor of 28 with respect to commercial EPR resonators. This work opens up the possibility to use advanced EPR techniques for studying protein single crystals of dimensions typical for x-ray crystallography. The technique is demonstrated by EPR experiments on single crystal [FeFe]-hydrogenase (Clostridium pasteurianum; CpI) with dimensions of 0.3 mm by 0.1 mm by 0.1 mm, yielding a proposed g-tensor orientation of the Hox state.

AbstractElectron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of M3Fe4V6O24 (M = Cu, Zn, Mg and Mn) compounds in high temperature range (293 K to 493 K) have been investigated. The role of magnetic (Cu, Mn) and non-magnetic (Zn, Mg) ions in M3Fe4V6O24 structure in formation of magnetic resonance spectra was studied. Temperature dependence of EPR parameters: resonance field, linewidth and integrated intensity were examined. Similarities and differences in temperature behavior of these parameters has been discussed in terms of different relaxation mechanisms and magnetic interactions in the spin systems. An important role of additional magnetic ions (M = Mn or Cu) in the M3Fe4V6O24 structure has been identified and its consequences considered.
