Electron paramagnetic resonance

Our cutting-edge techniques are developing high pressure and high temperature methods to tackle a full range of challenges.

We have a well established excellent track record of EPR and ENDOR spectroscopy. The technique has been applied to many problems from unravelling complex reaction mechanisms to characterising functional materials.

Equipment
