Non-uniform sampling in EPR – optimizing data acquisition for HYSCORE spectroscopy

Abstract

Non-uniform sampling combined with maximum entropy reconstruction is a powerful technique used in multi-dimensional NMR spectroscopy to reduce sample measurement time. We adapted this technique to the pulse EPR experiment hyperfine sublevel correlation (HYSCORE) and show that experimental times can be shortened by approximately an order of magnitude as compared to conventional linear sampling with negligible loss of information.
