| Course Description: |
|
This course will serve as the core course for the graduate students with research interests in chemistry and earth science. It can also serve as the elective course for the graduate students with life science background. It covers the basic principles of paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, experimental techniques and the applications in chemistry and biology research fields.
Successful completion of this course will allow the students to gain a fundamental understanding of the principles and experimental techniques of EPR, and employ the technical terminology of EPR to fulfill their future scientific research. |
