  Electron Spin Resonance
When the molecules of a solid exhibit paramagnetism as a result of unpaired electron spins, transitions can be induced between spin states by applying a magnetic field and then supplying electromagnetic energy, usually in the microwave range of frequencies.
Electron spin resonance has been used as an investigative tool for the study of radicals formed in solid materials, since the radicals typically produce an unpaired spin on the molecule from which an electron is removed.
The interaction of an external magnetic field with an electron spin depends upon the magnetic moment associated with the spin, and the nature of an isolated electron spin is such that two and only two orientations are possible.

 Electron Spin Resonance
Electron Spin Resonance involves a resonant coupling of the transition between the Zeeman levels and an external oscillating electromagnetic field (with magnetic component perpendicular to the field causing the Zeeman splitting).
The substance which is used to observe the Electron Spin Resonance is diphenyl-picril-hydrazyl, or DPPH, a organic radical with an unpaired electron appears on one of the nitrogen attoms.
The electron spin resonance is marked by a dramatic increase in absorption of the EM field, and this increase changes the impedance of the RF oscillating circuit.

 Electron spin resonance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) or Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) is a spectroscopic technique which detects species that have unpaired electrons, generally meaning that the molecule in question is a free radical if it is an organic molecule, or that it has transition metal ions if it is an inorganic complex.
EPR is used in solid-state physics, for the identification and quantification of radicals (i.e., molecules with unpaired electrons), in chemistry, to identify reaction pathways, as well as in biology and medicine for tagging biological spin probes.
Resonance linewidths are defined in magnetic induction units B and are measured along the x axis, from line center to y value crossing chosen point of energy spectrum.

 ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCE
In ESR it is customary to measure the g­factor.
B is that unpaired electrons not only interact with the externally applied magnetic field but also interact in a more or less random manner with the magnetic fields in their neighborhood.
Electron spin exchange between identical and non­identical molecules, chemical exchange between the paramagnetic molecule and its environment, and the interaction of nearby molecules having unpaired spins are some examples of environmental effects which can influence line width and intensity in the ESR spectrum.

 EPR pulse epr theory page
When an electron spin is placed in a magnetic field, a torque is exerted on the electron spin, causing its magnetic moment to precess about the magnetic field just as a gyroscope precesses in a gravitational field.
We have already seen that electron spins in a magnetic field are characterized by two quantum mechanical states, one with the magnetic moment parallel and the other state with the magnetic moment anti-parallel to the magnetic field.
The electron spins interact with the nuclei in their vicinity and this interaction causes a periodic oscillation in the echo height superimposed on the normal echo decay.

 What is EPR?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), also known as electron spin resonance (ESR) and electron magnetic resonance (EMR), is the name given to the process of resonant absorption of microwave radiation by paramagnetic ions or molecules, with at least one unpaired electron spin, and in the presence of a static magnetic field.
ENDOR - electron-nuclear double resonance, and S-band ESE - electron spin echo spectroscopy) that are available at the IERC extend the precision and scope of such investigations.
Point sensitivity is excellent (in the vicinity of 10^8 spins), even for aqueous samples (better than 2*10^9 spins demonstrated in the current IERC spectrometer), so very small samples can be studied; single cells have been detected with the aid of exogenous spin probes.

 ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCE
Because an electron has an intrinsic spin and magnetic moment, it may be used as a probe of local magnetic fields on an atomic scale.
Generally, the power emitted by a typical Gunn diode for ESR experimentation is of the order of 5-10mW, although with the use of a 100mW unit the resonance signal is considerably easier to find and observe.
Thus, it is possible to measure the resonant frequencies of a resonant cavity by monitoring the intensity of the transmitted microwaves as a function of frequency.

 Electron Paramagnetic Resonance
Electron Paramagnetic Resonance, EPR, is a spectroscopic technique which detects species that have unpaired electrons.
Free electrons are often short-lived, but still play crucial roles in many processes such as photosynthesis, oxidation, catalysis, and polymerization reactions.
From the EPR spectra reported by the spin label, they can determine the type of environment (hydrophobicity, pH, fluidity, etc.) in which the spin label is located.

Electron spin control could be crucial for the creation of nanoscale electronics, the magnetic resonance imaging of single molecules and the development of quantum computers.
Electron spins in semiconductors have proven particularly attractive for such studies because of their long decoherence times.
In addition, single electron spin resonance opens new opportunities in surface science by allowing researchers to individually study single defects and their environments at the semiconductor-insulator interfaces.

 fUSION Anomaly. Electron Spin Resonance
What the ESR tone of the psilocybin is heard via tryptamine antenna, it will strike a harmonic tone in the harmine complexes being metabolized within the system, causing its ESR to begin to resonate at a higher level.
According to the principles of tonal physics, this will automatically cancel out the original tone, i.e., the psilocybin ESR, and cause the molecule to cease to vibrate; however, the ESR tone that sustains the molecular coherency is carried for a microsecond on the overtonal ESR of the harmine complex.
The ESR resonance of the psilocybin in the mushrooms will be canceled and will drop into a superconductiving state; a small portion of the physical matter of the mushroom will be obliterated.

 g-Tensor Modulation Resonance
Previously demonstrated electrical control of spin coherence leads to a hope that dynamic and three dimensional control over electron spin could be achieved in a solid state device.
We demonstrate that if the g-factor is anisotropic, electron spins can be electrically manipulated through a new class of resonance, in a manner similar to electron spin resonance.
Modulating the spin precession axis at the resonant frequency is analogous to the case of ESR, and should result in the tipping of the spin vector, i.e., g-tensor modulation resonance (g-TMR).
