Parameters
The above panel is were all simulation parameters are input. Please note the following:
- 1) This program can simulate up to 10 radicals in one EPR spectrum. It is very rare to have more than one radical in a spectrum, but there are cases where there is a background signal as well as a signal of interest, so...2 radicals...sometimes. To start the simulation you must select "YES"...calculate this [1] species...
- 2) On the right side of the parameters panel is where you enter the EPR parameters:
- Set: each type/set of spins has their own parameters. For example in methane, CH4, there is only one set of protons.
- Hyperfine: this is a term which indicate the "energy" of interaction between a nuclear spin and the unparied electron.
- Spin: this is the nuclear spin.
- Number: how many spins are in this set
- Opt: an optimization routine can be run, this is where you select whether you want the optimization to optimize this parameter or not.
- Run a simulation for CH3. (set 1 - check, hyperfine 15 G, Spin - 0.5, Number - 3, opt - leave as checked (but not used)
