Abstract

The phenomenon of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) discovered in the USSR by E.K. Zavoisky (1944) very quickly turned into one of the most dynamically developing areas of magnetic resonance spectroscopy – EPR spectroscopy investigating properties of substances in various states of aggregation, at nuclear and molecular levels, allowing one to detect extremely small quantities of paramagnetic particles (PmCt) of different natures. Many research results obtained in this area are colligated in books and reviews (Carrington and McLachlan 1970; Altschuler and Kozyrev 1972; Abragam and Bleaney 1972, 1973; Wertz and Bolton 1975; Azhipa 1983; Solozhenkin 1986; Alekseev et al. 1987). Application of the EPR method to research in biology, medicine, and ecology was described in a large number of publications (Brady et al. 1968; Ingram 1972; Emmanuel’ et al. 1976; Komov 1982; Azhipa 1983; Zubarev 1984; Solozhenkin 1986; Dood et al. 1988; Generalova et al. 1993; Yordanov 1994; Bogachev et al. 1994a, 2001, 2002, 2005; Drapkin et al. 1996a, b, 2000, 2002, 2004; Serdyuk et al. 1998; Yordanov and Gancheva 1999; Rinck 2003).
