Another reason for interest in microwaves in chemical technology involves the fields of dielectric spectrometry, electron spin resonance (esr), or nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) (see Magnetic spin resonance). AppHcations in chemical technology relating to microwave quantum effects are of a diagnostic nature and are not reviewed herein. 

For electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements, the sample is placed in a resonant microwave cavity between the pole pieces of an electromagnet. The magnetic field is gradually increased, which induces a Zeeman splitting of the excila-... 

This comprehensive review of theoretical models and techniques will be invaluable to theorists and experimentalists in the fields of infrared and Raman spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, electron spin resonance and flame thermometry. It will also be useful to graduate students of molecular dynamics and spectroscopy.

The electron spin resonance spectrum of a free radical or coordination complex with one unpaired electron is the simplest of all forms of spectroscopy. The degeneracy of the electron spin states characterized by the quantum number, ms = 1/2, is lifted by the application of a magnetic field, and transitions between the spin levels are induced by radiation of the appropriate frequency (Figure 1.1). If unpaired electrons in radicals were indistinguishable from free electrons, the only information content of an ESR spectrum would be the integrated intensity, proportional to the radical concentration. Fortunately, an unpaired electron interacts with its environment, and the details of ESR spectra depend on the nature of those interactions. The arrow in Figure 1.1 shows the transitions induced by 0.315 cm-1 radiation. 

The real part is the magnetic permeability whereas the imaginary part is the magnetic loss. These losses are quite different from hysteresis or eddy current losses, because they are induced by domain wall and electron-spin resonance. These materials should be placed at position of magnetic field maxima for optimum absorption of microwave energy. For transition metal oxides such as iron, nickel, and cobalt magnetic losses are high. These powders can, therefore, be used as lossy impurities or additives to induce losses within solids for which dielectric loss is too small. 

To simplify terminology of axial systems, gzz is defined to be g(l (the g-value observed with the symmetry axis of Cu + parallel to the applied field), and gxx (= gyy) is defined to be gA (the g-value observed with the symmetry axis perpendicular to the applied field). An elongated z-axis (depicted in Figure 11 for Cu(H20)5 +) results in gjj > gj. For axially symmetric Cu + rigidly bound in a crystal, the g-value can then vary between the minimum (gj.) and maximum (g(,), depending on orientation of the crystal within the magnetic field. However, for axial Cu + bound in a powdered clay sample, all possible orientations, and therefore all g-values between gA and gj are represented in the "powder" spectrum. Therefore, electron spin resonance occurs only for field values, H, between Hjj and H, where ... 

NMR observes the chemistry of only the proton nucleus (though it can observe many other nuclei independently). This means that hetero and metallic chemistry cannot be observed directly. Thus, sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen, and metals cannot be directly analyzed by NMR, though secondary correlations can be obtained from the proton chemistry of the sample. In combination with electron spin resonance (ESR) analyzers that can operate in the fringe fields of the NMR magnet the presence of paramagnetic metals and free radicals can be quantified. 

Kittel and Abrahams 12S) have predicted an approximately Lorentzian magnetic resonance line shape for a system of spins which are randomly distributed over a small fraction of a large number of possible sites. This effect has been observed in electron spin resonance (124)- Kittel and Abrahams estimate that appreciable deviations from Gaussian shape will occur when the fraction of sites occupied, f, is less than 0.1, in the case of spins of / = H iu a simple cubic lattice with the magnetic field directed...
