The detection of radicals on a chip is demonstrated. The proposed method is based on electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and the measurement of high-frequency impedance of the microinductor fabricated on the chip. The measurement was by using a frequency sweep of approximately 100 MHz. The ESR spectra of di(phenyl)-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)iminoazanium (DPPH) dropped on the microinductor which is fabricated with CMOS 350-nm technology were observed at room temperature. The volume of the DPPH ethanol solution was 2 μL, and the number of spins on the micro-inductor was estimated at about 1014. The sensitivity is not higher than that of the standard ESR spectrometers. However, the result indicates the feasibility of a near field radical sensor in which the microinductor as a probe head and ESR signal processing circuit are integrated.

The method of self-deconvolution is applied to the resolution enhancement of electron spin resonance spectra (ESR). The component lineshapes of ESR spectra are basically Lorentzian, but they often carry strong Gaussian perturbations. Deconvolution with a finite impulse response operator filter to enhance the resolution of Lorentzian and Gaussian ESR band envelopes is discussed and a more general function is derived for Gauss-Lorentz convolute (Voigt) lineshapes. The method is applied initially to the simulated isotropic ESR spectrum of the ethyl radical in the liquid state and to a simulated anisotropic spectrum of a crystalline powder. Application to real spectra is illustrated by the anisotropic spectrum of bis(acetylacetonato)-copper(II) [Cu(AcAc)2] in ethanol solution at 140 K in order to resolve the hyperfine lines. The perpendicular component of this spectrum is notable for its poor resolution.

A new method for determining the concentration of vanadyl ions in claysA novel and simple method for quantitatively determining the concentration of vanadyl ions in clays using electron spin resonance data has been developed. Several vanadyl standards with concentrations between 200-1000 ppm were prepared in a mixture of glycerol and kaolinite (KGa-2). The anisotropic electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra were recorded at room temperature, and the specific intensity of the line (attributed to nuclear spin m = -5/2||) was determined. For vanadyl concentrations between 50 ppm and 200 ppm, the standards must be prepared by mixing kaolinite with known vanadyl content (FBT2A-03) and kaolinite (GB1) containing no vanadyl. The method is applicable without modification to other clays and clay-rich sediments containing vanadyl ions. The whole procedure is very suitable for routine work.

ESR spectra of Fe+3 located at one of the aluminium sites in cordierite have been investigated at X- and K-band frequencies at room temperature. The spectra exhibit large zero-field splitting and have been fitted to a spin Hamiltonian of orthorhombic symmetry, having constants b20 = 14.6 ± 0.1 kG, b22 = 8.5 ± 0.1 kG, and isotropic g = 2.004 ± 0.002.

The effects of γ-adiolysis at room temperature on adamantane and adamantane-d16 matrices doped with 5-membered heterocyclic molecules has been examined by X-band electron spin resonance (esr) spectrometry. Radical structures formed from heterocyclic solute molecules are discussed and tentative assignments made for 2-methyl-, 3-methyl-, and 2,5-dimethylthiophene, 2-methyl-, and 2,5-dimethylfuran. Discussion of possible radical structures derived from furan, tetrahydrofuran, 2-methyl- and 3-methyltetrahydrofuran, 2,5-dihydrofuran, and 4,5-dihydro-2-methylfuran, is included, but unambiguous assignments of structure cannot be made for these compounds from the esr data obtained. Other molecules examined included thiophene, pyrrole, and 1-methyl- and 1,2,5-trimethylpyrrole. For these latter molecules, experimentally obtained first derivative X-band esr spectra were too poorly resolved to allow rational discussion of possible structures. It was noted that perdeuterated adamantane matrices provided superior resolution for esr spectra derived from radicals with a delocalized spin center such as allyl or allenyl species.

Polycrystalline amino acids, when irradiated with 2537 Å light, afford a variety of electron spin resonance signals. These signals are generally stable at room temperature for relatively long periods of time. For a number of the spectra obtained, there is evidence that more than one radical species contributes to the observed spectra. The signals obtained frequently differ from those obtained on exposure to ionizing radiation. The postulated species formed can often be visualized as being formed by effective hydrogen abstraction from the alkyl-substituted tertiary carbon atom or from the —OH, —SH or —NH group contained in the side chain. For L-phenylalanine a secondary radical is obtained, which is ascribed to a cyclohexadienyl radical.

ABSRTACTIn this article, we report low-temperature electron spin resonance (ESR) investigations carried out on solution processed three-layer inverted solar cell structures: PC61BM/CH3NH3PbI3/PEDOT:PSS/Glass, where PC61BM and PEDOT:PSS act as electron and hole transport layers, respectively. ESR measurements were conducted on ex-situ light (1 Sun) illuminated samples. We find two distinct ESR spectra. First ESR spectra resembles a typical powder pattern, associated with gx = gy = 4.2; gz = 9.2, found to be originated from Fe3+ extrinsic impurity located in the glass substrate. Second ESR spectra contains a broad (peak-to-peak line width ∼ 10 G) and intense ESR signal appearing at g = 2.008; and a weak, partly overlapped, but much narrower (peak-to-peak line width ∼ 4 G) ESR signal at g = 2.0022. Both sets of ESR spectra degrade in intensity upon light illumination. The latter two signals were found to stem from light-induced silicon dangling bonds and oxygen vacancies, respectively. Our controlled measurements confirm that these centers were generated during UV-ozone treatment of the glass substrate –a necessary step to be performed before PEDOT:PSS is spin coated. This work forms a significant step in understanding the light-induced- as well as extrinsic defects in perovskite solar cell materials.
