We take a rather simple approach to the treatment of statistical thermodynamics and the derivations that follow. A rigorous discussion requires introduction of the canonical ensemble and is beyond the scope of our immediate interest. The details can be found, for example, in textbooks on statistical mechanics [269]. The approach taken here yields all of the needed results, and is a compact introduction to the theory.

The above experimental developments represent powerful tools for the exploration of molecular structure and dynamics complementary to other techniques. However, as is often the case for spectroscopic techniques, only interactions with effective and reliable computational models allow interpretation in structural and dynamical terms. The tools needed by EPR spectroscopists are from the world of quantum mechanics (QM), as far as the parameters of the spin Hamiltonian are concerned, and from the world of molecular dynamics (MD) and statistical thermodynamics for the simulation of spectral line shapes. The introduction of methods rooted into the Density Functional Theory (DFT) represents a turning point for the calculations of spin-dependent properties [7],...
