Outline of Final Research Achievements

Pulsed EPR is the essential tool for investigation of unpaired electron. Generally, the EPR linewidth is very broad, and it is difficult to measure spin packets in pulsed EPR. By mixing multi frequency microwaves, detectable frequency range in EPR lines was 3-5 times increased. The technique was applied to the centers in proteins. It gave high quality signal under the low radical contentraion.
