A probehead for pulsed electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) experiments with radio-frequency fields up to 20 mT is introduced. The probehead consists of a bridged loop-gap resonator for X-band microwave frequencies surrounded by a solenoidal rf coil that generates the radio-frequency field, and serves as microwave radiation shield. A broad band and a tuned circuit for pulsed ENDOR experiments between 1–200 and 1.5–26 MHz, respectively, are described. Details of the probehead design and characteristics of the rf circuits are given. The performance of the probehead is demonstrated by pulsed ENDOR spectra in solids and liquids between 8 and 150 MHz and by an ENDOR experiment that requires a stepping of the static magnetic field strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
