The invention provides a cavity resonator for an electron spin resonance device in which modulation coils for generating a modulation magnetic field to be applied to a sample in the cavity resonator are arranged at an exterior of the cavity resonator. The cavity resonator comprises a body being rectangular-defined by predetermined length, width and height. The body has a pair of side walls being vertical to the modulation magnetic field. The side wall respectively have at least thin portions of a thickness being nearly equal to or less than a skin depth of a skin effect appearing at the side walls. The modulation coils are arranged on the thin portions so as to have the modulation magnetic field be transmitted through the thin portions into the interior of the cavity resonator. Alternatively, it is possible that inner walls of the body are overlaid with metallic foils having at least sufficiently smaller thickness than a skin depth of a skin effect appearing at the walls.

The invention provides an electron spin resonance device in which a measuring sample is arranged in a cavity resonator in a polarization magnetic field for a receipt of a predetermined microwave power and a subsequent resonance signal detection from said sample. A microwave signal amplifier is arranged on a prestage of a microwave detection circuit for an addition of a part of an output from a microwave oscillator at an input terminal of said amplifier so as to accomplish a balanced cancellation of a microwave reflective power from said cavity resonator.

Electron spin resonance device

An electron spin resonance system comprising a magnetic circuit in which a pair of permanent magnets are respectively attached to opposing surfaces of a pair of stationary yokes arranged opposite to each other by way of a gap, a movable yoke is disposed to at least one of the pair of the stationary yokes for continuously changing the distance between opposing surfaces of the stationary yokes, so that the magnetic resistance of a magnetic path formed by the permanent magnets, stationary yokes and movable yokes is varied continuously thereby forming a continuously varying magnetic field in the gap between the opposed permanent magnets, and a modulating magnetic field application coil for applying a modulating magnetic field and/or a sweeping magnetic field application coil for applying a sweeping magnetic field to the gap, a cavity resonator disposed in the gap in which a specimen to be measured can be inserted, and a microwave generator and a microwave detector disposed to the cavity resonator.

Electron spin resonance system

In a magnetic field generating device for an ESR system in which a pair of permanent magents are respectively attached to opposing surfaces of a pair of stationary yokes arranged in opposite and spaced apart relationship with each other and a continuously varying magnetic field is caused to generate in a space between the opposing permanent magnets, a plurality of movable yokes for continuously changing the distance between the stationary yokes are arranged to at least one of the pair of stationary yokes so that they are moved individually thereby enabling the magnetic resistance of a magnetic path formed by the permanent magnets, stationary yokes and movable yokes to vary continuously. The device of this invention can vary the magnetic field intensity continuously and finely at high accuracy and can be used at a reduced cost and size with improved operationability in ESR system.
