磁気共鳴分光 Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy 原 英之 電子常磁性共鳴(EPR:Electron Paramagnetic Resonance)や電子磁気共鳴(EMR:Electron Magnetic Resonance)とも呼ばれる電子スピン共鳴(ESR:Electron Spin Resonance)とは,静磁場中で不対電子を持つ常磁性イオンや分子がマイクロ波放射によってマイクロ波の吸収共鳴がおこる現象である.この現象1945年にロシアの科学者Zavoiskyによって発見された.ESRは現在,化学,物理学,生物学,および医学など様々の分野で応用されており,固体,液体中の「静的」な構造の研究だけでなく,「動的」な過程を調べるのにも使用されている.このESR概論でなESRの基礎から原理,応用例について述べる. Electron spin resonance (ESR) that is also called electron and paramagnetic resonance (EPR) or electron magnetic resonance (EMR) is a absorbed phenomenon of the paramagnetic ion and the molecule with the unpaired electron in the static magnetic field according to the microwave radiation. This phenomenon was discovered by prof. Zavoisky in 1944. ESR is being applied in a variety of fields such as the chemistry, physics, biology, and the medicines, and used to examine not only the research of "static" structure of a solid and a liquid but also "dynamic" process. The principle and the application example are described in this paper. Keywords:Electron spin resonance spectroscopy, Free radical, Unpaired electron |
