Bo: external magnetic field commonly 0.34 – 1.24 T == corresponding frequency 9.5 (X-band) – 35 (Q-band) GHz the electron interacts with a neighboring nuclear magnetic dipole, the energy levels become: ? E = gmBBoMS + amBMSmI mI: nuclear spin quantum number for the neighboring nucleus a: hyperfine coupling constant energy levels and transitions for a single unpaired electron in an external magnetic field with no coupling coupling to one nucleus with spin 1/2 spin-lattice relaxation: microwave radiation transferred from the spin system to its su
