About EasySpin
EasySpin is a MATLAB
toolbox for simulating and fitting Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectra.
It supplements the numerical and visualisation power of MATLAB with the
best computational methods devised by EPR spectroscopists.
EasySpin runs on Windows, Linux and Mac, and is available free of charge.
Current version: 3.1.1 (10 Dec 2009) [download]
Features
EasySpin can simulate a wide range of EPR spectra. For all simulations,
interactive least-squares fitting using hybrid methods based on Simplex,
Levenberg-Marquardt and genetic algorithms are possible.

EasySpin also provides a variety of other tools:
- Basic spin physics: spin operators, Stevens operators, spin Hamiltonians with arbitrary number of electron and nuclear spins,
angular momentum.
- Utilities: line shapes, Euler angle utilities, orientational grids, data import from all common EPR file formats (BES3T, ESP, Varian),
nuclear isotope database, field/frequency/g value conversion
- Data analysis: RC filtering, field-modulation,
cross-term averaged FFT, moving average, many apodization windows, baseline correction
- Resonances: ENDOR and cw EPR resonance line
computations, energy level diagrams
- Time-domain: support for propagators and density matrix evolutions.
