Abstract:
Full-cycle rapid scan (RS) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) can be performed without the instability of prior art methods and with a higher scan rate than traditional half-scan methods. In particular, a full scan is performed, but the constant RF driving B-field can be mathematically represented as two step functions, each corresponding to one half of a full scan cycle. This mathematical representation can be carried through the deconvolution such that two deconvolutions, one for the up cycle and one for the down cycle, can be performed. The solutions to these two deconvolutions can then be summed to give a single spectrum having a higher signal-to-noise ratio than half-cycle RS scans.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for full-cycle rapid scan (RS) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), the method comprising:\n performing a full-cycle RS EPR scan, where each full-cycle RS EPR scan passes through a resonance of target electrons twice per cycle, and wherein an RS response signal generated in response to the full-cycle RS EPR scan passing through a first of these two resonances does not decay by the time the full-cycle RS EPR scan passes through the second resonance; transforming the RS response signal of the full-cycle RS EPR scan into a reference frame associated with a Larmor frequency of spins of the target electrons measured by the full-cycle RS EPR scan; mathematically representing a constant RF driving magnetic field as a sum of two step functions offset by a half cycle; performing two deconvolutions, with one of the two step functions as an input to a first of the two deconvolutions and a second of the two step functions as an input to a second of the two deconvolutions, to form first and second deconvolution solutions; and summing the first and second deconvolution solutions to generate a spectrum with a higher signal-to-noise ratio than either of the deconvolution solutions alone.
