Abstract
This chapter discusses electron-spin resonance (ESR) on localized magnetic moments in metals. The chapter discusses crystal-field effects and provides a short description of the so-called bottleneck phenomena, which play an important role in the ESR on localized moments in metals. The ESR results in metals and alloys is discussed where the ESR probes have been substituted in a dilute limit, usually with concentrations less than 5%. The ESR probes are 3d and 4f impurities. The systems with concentrated ESR probes are discussed. In these compounds 4f moments have been substituted at high concentrations or the ESR probe is a constituent of the lattice itself. Finally van-Vleck systems are discussed. The chapter discusses recent developments, including spin glasses, Kondo impurities and superconductors. The areas of heavy-fermion systems and intermediate valence compounds are discussed.
