In rapid-scan EPR the magnetic field or frequency is repeatedly scanned through
the spectrum at rates that are much faster than in conventional continuous wave
EPR. The signal is directly-detected with a mixer at the source frequency.
Rapid-scan EPR is particularly advantageous when the scan rate through resonance
is fast relative to electron spin relaxation rates. In such scans, there may be
oscillations on the trailing edge of the spectrum. These oscillations can be
removed by mathematical deconvolution to recover the slow-scan absorption
spectrum. In cases of inhomogeneous broadening, the oscillations may interfere
destructively to the extent that they are not visible. The deconvolution can be
used even when it is not required, so spectra can be obtained in which some
portions of the spectrum are in the rapid-scan regime and some are not. The
technology developed for rapid-scan EPR can be applied generally so long as
spectra are obtained in the linear response region. The detection of the full
spectrum in each scan, the ability to use higher microwave power without
saturation, and the noise filtering inherent in coherent averaging results in
substantial improvement in signal-to-noise relative to conventional continuous
wave spectroscopy, which is particularly advantageous for low-frequency EPR
imaging. This overview describes the principles of rapid-scan EPR and the
hardware used to generate the spectra. Examples are provided of its application
to imaging of nitroxide radicals, diradicals, and spin-trapped radicals at a
Larmor frequency of ca. 250MHz.
