Pulse radiolysis of alkali metal cations (M+) in amines and tetrahydrofuran has demonstrated the formation of transient optical absorption bands attributed to a species of stoichiometry M. Such bands exhibit a distinct blue shift from that of es− observed in the same solvent. Comparisons with electron spin resonance (esr) spectra obtained in alkali metal solutions demonstrate that the blue shift can be correlated with the percent atomic character deduced for the species of the same stoichiometry. This correlation indicates that both the optical and esr spectra arise from the same species which, with decreasing solvent polarity, exhibits a continuous transition from well solvated ion-pairs to something approaching solvated atoms or tight ion-pairs.

Polycrystalline amino acids, when irradiated with 2537 Å light, afford a variety of electron spin resonance signals. These signals are generally stable at room temperature for relatively long periods of time. For a number of the spectra obtained, there is evidence that more than one radical species contributes to the observed spectra. The signals obtained frequently differ from those obtained on exposure to ionizing radiation. The postulated species formed can often be visualized as being formed by effective hydrogen abstraction from the alkyl-substituted tertiary carbon atom or from the —OH, —SH or —NH group contained in the side chain. For L-phenylalanine a secondary radical is obtained, which is ascribed to a cyclohexadienyl radical.

ABSRTACTIn this article, we report low-temperature electron spin resonance (ESR) investigations carried out on solution processed three-layer inverted solar cell structures: PC61BM/CH3NH3PbI3/PEDOT:PSS/Glass, where PC61BM and PEDOT:PSS act as electron and hole transport layers, respectively. ESR measurements were conducted on ex-situ light (1 Sun) illuminated samples. We find two distinct ESR spectra. First ESR spectra resembles a typical powder pattern, associated with gx = gy = 4.2; gz = 9.2, found to be originated from Fe3+ extrinsic impurity located in the glass substrate. Second ESR spectra contains a broad (peak-to-peak line width ∼ 10 G) and intense ESR signal appearing at g = 2.008; and a weak, partly overlapped, but much narrower (peak-to-peak line width ∼ 4 G) ESR signal at g = 2.0022. Both sets of ESR spectra degrade in intensity upon light illumination. The latter two signals were found to stem from light-induced silicon dangling bonds and oxygen vacancies, respectively. Our controlled measurements confirm that these centers were generated during UV-ozone treatment of the glass substrate –a necessary step to be performed before PEDOT:PSS is spin coated. This work forms a significant step in understanding the light-induced- as well as extrinsic defects in perovskite solar cell materials.

ABSTRACTElectron spin resonance (ESR) of dilute paramagnetic ions in nonmagnetic metallic hydrides provides microscopic information about the hydrogen ions in the immediate vicinity of the impurity. By comparing ESR spectra for different host metals and several hydrogen/metal ratios, one can determine material properties including host lattice symmetry, phase boundaries and occupation of available sites by hydrogen. Examples are presented of ESR of dilute Er in group IIIB and IVB metal hydrides, demonstrating the sensitivity and versatility of ESR as a spectroscopic technique.

AbstractElectron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and calorimetric methods were used to characterize conversion processes in multimineral samples from the Northampton ironstone (NIS) at temperatures between 25°C and 800°C. The beginning of the thermal conversion processes can be determined by the formation of asymmetric ESR spectra with g ≈ 2 at 250°C. The breakdown of the berthierine structure between 250°C and 520°C is indicated by the disappearance of the hyperfine splitting in the Mn2+ spectrum and the formation of magnetite. The decomposition of siderite and calcite was found by calorimetric methods at 580°C and 700°C, respectively. The hematite formation between 550°C and 800°C is explained by the decomposition of siderite but also by the oxidation of previously formed magnetite. The occurrence of hematite as the dominant ferric oxide at 800°C signifies the end of the conversion process of the major mineral phases in the NIS samples.

Electron spin resonance spectra are reported from a number of radicals derived from 2,4-pentadione substituted at the 3 position with nitroxide-containing groups. If the substituent is t-butyl nitroxide no metal complexes are formed. This is attributed to steric factors which prevent the formation of the enol form of the β-diketone. If the substituent is trifluoromethyl nitroxide two types of metal complex have been observed. The esr spectra of the first type are very similar to that of the uncomplexed radical. Such complexes are formed with Co(III) and Al(III). The esr spectra of the second type show considerably increased 14N and 19F hyperfine coupling constants and in some cases large couplings to the metal nucleus. Complexes for the second type have been observed with Pd(II), Pt(II), and Rh(III). The possible structures of these radicals are discussed.
