Summer course on Paramagnetic Resonance Spectroscopy: Theory, Techniques and Applications

在过去的二十年里，电子顺磁共振在方法学和仪器方面取得了巨大的发展，特别是在脉冲电子顺磁共振、高场电子顺磁共振和双共振方法方面，如电子核双共振(Endor)或脉冲电子双共振(PELDOR)。EPR波谱的这些进展对化学、材料科学、物理和生物学的各个领域都产生了巨大的影响，越来越多的年轻科学家开始在EPR的不同应用领域进行博士研究，如半导体物理、化学和生化催化、膜蛋白质研究、沸石和分子磁体。这个暑期班的目标是通过其年轻的研究人员向科学界传播这种现代的EPR方法。这些课程将有效地向他们传授EPR光谱学的最新方法和仪器发展以及新的研究应用，并将为他们提供理解各种技术所必需的理论工具。位于莱茵-美因茨地区，靠近三个活跃的EPR研究小组(聚合物研究美因茨、达姆施塔特工业大学和法兰克福歌德大学的MPI)，将提供一个独特的机会，还可以包括最先进的EPR光谱仪的实用课程。

EPR has witnessed tremendous methodological and instrumental developments during the last two decades, especially in the field of pulsed EPR, high-field EPR and double resonance methods as electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) or pulsed electron electron double resonance (PELDOR). These advances in EPR spectroscopy have had strong impact on various areas of chemistry, material science, physics and biology and an increasing number of young scientists started their PhD research work in such different application fields of EPR as semiconductor physics, chemical and biochemical catalysis, membrane protein research, zeolites and molecular magnets. The objective of this summer school is to disseminate this modern EPR methodology to the scientific community through its young researchers. The courses will effectively teach them the newest methodological and instrumental developments in EPR spectroscopy along with novel research applications and will give them the theoretical tools which are essential for the comprehension of the various techniques. The location in the Rhein-Main area, close to three active EPR research groups (MPI for Polymer Research Mainz, TU Darmstadt and Goethe University Frankfurt), will give an unique opportunity to include also practical courses on state-of-the art EPR spectrometers.
