Is the g tensor always "parallel" to the (hyperfine) A tensor?
I have a question about the anisotropy of the g tensor and the A tensor (hyperfine splitting tensor) in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR).
Both tensors are symmetric, and as a result, there is for ...

Relative magnitude of the crystal field and spin-orbit coupling
In the EPR part of the book 'Physical methods in Inorganic Chemistry' by S. Drago i found that relative magnitudes of crystal field and spin-orbit coupling affect the g values.
I understand that the ...

Assigning structure based on EPR spectroscopy
When given two copper(II) complexes - bis(N-3-chlorophenyl-salicydenaminato)copper(II) and bis(N-3-methylphenyl-salicydenaminato)copper(II) - how can you predict their EPR spectrum and hence their g ...

How can Spin-Orbit-Coupling allow interactions between states with different multiplicities?
I can understand how spin-orbit coupling generates the hyperfine structures that we see in textbooks but maybe my view that the L + S momenta interacting to generate a third J momentum is too ...

How to turn oil into in a gel?
I've seen some EPR experiments where they add gelatin to water with spin-probes in it, as it "hardens" it immobilizes the spin-probes so that you can check effect of tumbling rate on the EPR....

Measured g-factor of a free-radical changing as a function of something. But I cant work out what?
I'm looking at EPR of a paramagnetic organic molecule in solution that has a very stable free-radical signature with gfactor ~2.0035. All good. Except when watching one particular experiment I saw ...

Handling EPR spin-probes, specifically how to dissolve 5-DSA?
I want to do some EPR tests with 5-DSA (or related spin probe) dissolved into different crude oils.
It had not sunk into me that $100 of 5-DSA was a tiny amount of a very sticky solid. It's proving ...
