In this article, the use of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to study the chemistry of oxide surfaces and catalysis is discussed, focusing on those aspects of the techniques that are directly related to the specificity of heterogeneous systems, investigations of surfaces and catalytic reactions.
Abstract
The use of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to study the chemistry of oxide surfaces and catalysis is discussed. Emphasis is placed on those aspects of the techniques that are directly related to the specificity of heterogeneous systems, investigations of surfaces and catalytic reactions. The characteristic features of EPR spectra of high-surface oxide materials are analyzed, and the typical means employed to increase the amount of extractable information are presented. A brief survey of new potentialities of continuous-wave EPR and typical applications is also provided.

Application of the genetic algorithm joint with the Powell method to nonlinear least-squares fitting of powder EPR spectra.

TL;DR: The application of the stochastic genetic algorithm in conjunction with the deterministic Powell search to analysis of the multicomponent powder EPR spectra based on computer simulation allows for automated extraction of the magnetic parameters and relative abundances of the component signals, from the nonlinear least-squares fitting of experimental spectra, with minimum outside intervention.

A Theory of the Catalytic Surface

TL;DR: The theory of Bodenstein and Fink, based on kinetic studies, assumed that reaction velocity was determined by the rate of diffusion of reactant gases through a layer of gas adsorbed on the catalyst surface as discussed by the authors.
