EPR spectrometer microwave bridge

该申请旨在获得资金，以更换Bruker EMS300E X波段电子顺磁共振光谱仪（EPR）上有缺陷的微波电桥。由于与微波桥相关的电子模块故障，光谱仪已被禁用。电桥是操作EPR谱仪所需的激发源。该仪器于1993年由NSERC资助，并且仍然是蒙特利尔五所大学中唯一可用的光谱仪，也是麦吉尔大学校园中唯一可以满足化学，物理，医学和纸浆研究人员需求的仪器。四个共同申请人，他们的学生和PDF需要专门使用EPR，并由其他麦吉尔部门，其他魁北克大学和行业的研究人员使用。关于共同申请人，该仪器支持分子电子学先进材料的研究，与疟疾相关的生物无机化学研究，自由基传感器研究以及光子学光学材料计划。

This request is for funds to replace the defective microwave bridge on a Bruker EMS300E X-band Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Spectrometer (EPR). The spectrometer has been disabled due to failure of the electronic module associated with the microwave bridge. The bridge is the excitation source required to operate the EPR spectrometer. The instrument was funded by NSERC in 1993, and remains the only such spectrometer available at any of the five universities in Montreal, and the only instrument on the McGill campus that can service the needs of researchers from Chemistry, Physics, Medicine and Pulp and Paper at McGill as well. Dedicated use of the EPR is required by the four co-applicants, their students and PDFs, and is utilized by researchers from other Mcgill Departments, from other Quebec Universities and industry. In respect to the co-applicants, the instrument supports research in advanced materials for molecular electronics, studies in bioinorganic chemistry related to malaria, research into free radical sensors, and programs in optical materials for photonics.
