in this study we report the rock magnetic properties of surface soil samples and their spatialvariability from the northernmost district of kerala to understand pedogenic processes and soil erosion. themagnetic signal is mainly from fine grained pedogenic magnetite as other sources like anthropogenic andlithogenic magnetite, bacterial magnetite and greigite are absent. the surface soil samples ...

Dispersed detonation nanodiamonds have been studied by continuous-wave (CW) and pulse EPR techniques. The spectrum of bulk radicals (g = 2.0025 ± 0.0002, a Lorentz line shape with ΔHpp = 0.95 ± 0.05 mT) dominated in CW EPR and prevented to record spectra from other paramagnetic species. The pulse EPR spectrum was the superposition of the distorted P1-center spectrum with parameters (g = 2.0025,...

in this study, fe 3 o 4 superparamagnetic nanoparticles were synthesized and stabilized by chitosan. then the nanoparticles were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (tem). particle size distribution and zeta potential of the particles also was assessed using malvern zetasizer. the paramagnetic behaviors of the uncoated and chitosan coate...

electron paramagnetic resonance (epr) spectroscopy, also known as electron spin resonance(esr) especially among physicists, is a strong and versatile spectroscopic method forinvestigation of paramagnetic systems, i.e. systems like free radicals and most transition metalions, which have unpaired electrons. the sensitivity and selectivity of epr are notable andintriguing as compared to other spec...

Some calculations of the electric field derivative of the spin-spin coupling constant on molecules in the series CH3F, CH3Cl, CH3Br, CH3I, CH4, CH3Li, CH3Na and CH3K have been presented. The data is broken down into the 4 terms of the Ramsey theory: Fermi contact (FC); diamagnetic spin-orbit (DSO); paramagnetic spinorbit (PSO) and spin-dipolar (SD). The FC term is seen to dominate all the calcu...

The diamagnetism of biological tissues reduces the homogeneity of the magnetic field and may limit the number of samples in multi-sample gradient-recalled echo (GRE) experiments. This study aims to 1) evaluate the magnetic field distortions and signal loss artifacts in GRE images of proximal water samples, and 2) develop a passive shimming device to overcome this limitation. The magnetic field ...

Several reviews concerning the EPR of the paramagnetic transition-metal ions in crystals are now available, either as periodic reports published in the Magnetic Resonance Review, or in books [1,2,3] and review papers [4, 5]. Such paramagnetic centers are usually observed in the as grown crystals, the paramagnetic state being the normal valency state of the impurity in the crystal-host lattice. ...

Effect of amifostine, a radiation-protecting drug, on muscle tissue partial pressure of oxygen was investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging. When amifostine was administered intraperitoneally or intravenously to mice, the linewidth of the electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of the lithium octa-n-butoxy-substituted naphthalocyanine implanted in the mouse leg m...

Paramagnetic metal ions with fast-relaxing electronic spin and anisotropic susceptibility tensor provide a rich source of structural information that can be derived from pseudo-contact shifts, residual dipolar couplings, dipole-dipole Curie spin cross-correlation, and paramagnetic relaxation enhancements. The present study draws attention to a cross-correlation effect between nuclear relaxation...
