About this document
Zero Field Splitting in ESR Spectroscopy by Henrique Castro is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document defines zero field splitting and magnetoanisotropy, and discusses their relevance to organic diradicals. It describes how the interaction of two unpaired electrons in different orbitals can lead to the lifting of degeneracy in spin states even in the absence of an applied magnetic field. This is known as zero field splitting. It occurs when the molecular orbitals are not spherically distributed, breaking the symmetry. The extent of zero field splitting is quantified by parameters D and E, whic
