About EasySpin

EasySpin is a Matlab toolbox for simulating Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectra. It supplements the numerical and visualisation power of Matlab with the best computational methods devised by EPR spectroscopists.

EasySpin is available free of charge. To obtain the toolbox, go to the download page.

Current version: 2.7.1 (12 Feb 2008)

Features

The main tools included are simulation functions for the following types of spectra.

Isotropic cw EPR spectra
  • one unpaired electron, arbitrary number of nuclei
  • resonance fields are exact (no perturbation formulae)
  • automatic determination of magnetic field range
  • least-squares fitting
Fast-motion cw EPR spectra
  • one unpaired electron, arbitrary number of nuclei
  • user provides rotational correlation time and tensor anisotropies, line widths are automatically computed
  • least-squares fitting
Slow-motion cw EPR spectra
  • one unpaired electron, several nuclei
  • axial and orthorhombic rotational diffusion tensor
  • arbitrary tensor orientations
  • orientational potential
  • spin exchange
  • least-squares fitting
Solid-state cw EPR spectra (powders and crystals)
  • arbitrary number of electron and nuclear spins
  • all interactions, including high-order operators and nuclear quadrupole
  • resonance fields are exact (no perturbation formulae)
  • broadening models: g, A and D strain, unresolved hyperfine splittings
  • non-equilibrium populations
  • perpendicular and parallel detection mode
  • least-squares fitting
Solid-state ENDOR spectra (powders and crystals)
  • arbitrary number of nuclei, includes nuclear quadrupole
  • hyperfine enhancement
  • built-in orientation selection
