Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is based on the principle of using a focused beam of high-energy electrons to probe the surface of a sample and produce a high-resolution detailed image. Electron Source: SEM works by using an electron source, typically a heated tungsten filament or a field emission gun, to produce a beam of electrons. Electron Beam Generation: The electron source e...
EPR (Electron Paramagnetic Resonance) Spectroscopy, also known as Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) Spectroscopy, is a technique used to study the electronic structure of paramagnetic species. There are two main types of EPR spectroscopy: Continuous Wave (CW) EPR spectroscopy and Pulsed EPR spectroscopy. Continuous wave (CW) EPR Spectroscopy: In continuous wave EPR spectroscopy, a microw...
The sensitivity of a spectroscopic technique refers to its ability to detect and analyze signals from a sample. In the case of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR or ESR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), EPR is generally considered to be more sensitive than NMR for several reasons: 1. Detection principle EPR detects signals from unpaired electrons, while NMR detects signals from the n...
