Fundamentals of Spin Exchange

This book is a comprehensive summary of 50 years of research from theoretical predictions to experimental confirmation of the manifestation of spin exchange in EPR spectroscopy.

The author unfolds the details of comprehensive state of the art of theoretical calculations, which have been proven to become the core of the paradigm shift in spin exchange and set the direction for the future of spin exchange research.

The book refers to important experimental data that confirms the theory. It describes the modern protocol for determining the bi-molecular spin exchange rate from the EPR spectra, which will be especially interesting for experimentalists.

Given its scope, the book will benefit all researchers engaged in theory and experiments in the area of spin exchange and its manifestations in EPR spectroscopy, where many remarkable applications of the spin probe have been developed.

Provides a comprehensive review of theoretical and experimental studies on spin exchange and its applications Presents the state of the art in calculations of spin exchange constants and analysis of spin exchange in EPR spectroscopy Describes the current protocol for determining the spin exchange rate by analyzing the shape of the EPR spectra
