Definition: A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.
Other names Paramagnetic Resonance; Electron Paramagnetic Resonance; Electron Nuclear Double Resonance; ENDOR; Resonance, Paramagnetic; Resonance, Electron Spin; Resonance, Electron Paramagnetic; Paramagnetic Resonance, Electron; Electron Spin Resonance
