Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectrometer

The department houses an Electron Paramagnetic Resonance spectrometer equipped with Klystron tube to generate monochromatic microwave radiation in the ~9.75 GHz region (X-Band) and controlled by EMX console, connected with a chiller. This facility is used to analyse the presence of unpaired electrons in the inorganic metal complexes, polymer sample, radical containing organic compounds, metal ion in protein, thin films etc. The spectrometer has automatic phase and amplitude calibration for standard EPR spectra at room temperature and low temperature (with liq N2 cryostat).
