Abstract
This chapter is concerned with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), which is also called electron spin resonance (ESR). Typically, EPR experiments are performed at microwave frequencies. Applications of EPR are more or less equally divided among chemistry, biology, and physics. The chapter reviews the various types of bridges that have been used for general purpose EPR spectroscopy. A comprehensive discussion on one-arm bridges and reference-arm bridges are offered in the chapter. EPR bridges employing low-noise microwave amplifiers have also been described in the chapter. This advance makes all other microwave bridge designs obsolete in situations in which performance rather than cost are important. The chapter addresses resonators for EPR spectroscopy. Microwave cavity resonators have been used in nearly all EPR experiments until recently. The chapter discusses EPR cavity problems and multipurpose cavity accessories. A brief discussion on EPR microwave cavity designs is presented in the chapter and during that discussion several novel microwave cavity ideas are also introduced.
