Detailed mapping of atomic positions using electron nuclear double resonance (endor)

Abstract

Abstract Electron nuclear double resonance (endor) is a powerful tool for investigating the immediate surroundings of a centre with unpaired electrons in a solid. One can determine the nature of all neighbouring nuclei with nuclear magnetic moments, and can often determine their precise position in the crystal structure. Hence this technique may be used to map the positions of the neighbouring ions around the centre, and to discover the chemical nature of these ions.
