Creation and detection of coherence and polarization in pulsed EPR

Abstract

This paper makes an attempt to coordinate the various pulsed EPR experiments on a common ground. To that end we subdivide the pulse schemes into individual modules, each consisting of a sequence of microwave and/or radiofrequency pulses, or of another type of and external perturbation. The progress in time of both polarization and coherence transfer experiments, may then be considered as a sequence of such modules. This way of looking at a pulsed EPR experiment is illustrated by a number of examples of applications.
