Abstract

Experimentally observed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite samples can be considered as a sum of three signals coming from two adjacent faces and crystal edges. Contributions from faces can be analyzed analytically by Dyson’s theory based on an infinite flat conductive plate, while the contribution from edges is not described by this theory. Overlapping of these signals makes it difficult to get useful information about the sample from spectra observed. Implementation of two-dimensional spectral-spatial imaging technique proved to be helpful to solve this problem. It permits the characterization of the EPR spectrum from a selected flat spatial region located far from crystal edges where the model of the infinite flat conductive plate can be applied. By analyzing the EPR signal from spatial slices by Dyson’s equation we have obtained the values of the diffusion coefficient and the surface relaxation rate.
