B. Elschner and A. Loidl, Electron-spin resonance on localized magnetic moments in metals 221... 

Electron-spin resonance (ESR) is an extremely useful tool for probing the localized magnetic moment in a variety of materials. The chapter (162) by Elschner and Loidl focuses on metallic lanthanide systems, reviewing both the classical ESR behaviors and the role of ESR in newly developed branches of solid-state physics. The former includes the determination of the site symmetry of the ESR probe and measurement of the crystal field (CF) and how it (CF) differs in metallic systems from that in insulators. The latter deals with Van Vleck systems, spin glasses, Kondo systems, heavy-fermion and intermediate-valence compounds, and high-temperature superconductors.
