Brock Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy

Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy

Bruker Elexsys E580 pulsed and CW X-band (9 GHz) spectrometer; equipped with a liquid helium cryostat for variable temperature analysis from 5K to 300 K. The resonators and cryostat have light access for studying light-induced processes.

Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy

A multifrequency EPR unit operating at 9 GHz and 35 GHz setup for both continuous wave and direct detection time resolved EPR. Light excitation is achieved by a pulsed Nd-YAG pumped OPO laser, which is tunable between 450 – 680 nm and 710-1200 nm. The system response time is ca. 50 ns.The spectrometer is equipped with ENDOR and full high and low temperature VT with both liquid nitrogen and liquid helium capability. Data collection is via a LeCroy digital scope. The system is interfaced to a Linux PC console. Several PC’s and a Mac are available with printers for data analysis.
