“…Included in magnetic resonance techniques are nuclear magnetic resonance, nuclear quadrupole resonance, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Early in the development of electron paramagnetic resonance, anomalous changes in line widths and intensities of resonances in such magnetic materials as MnS, MnO, and Cr,O, were observed near the Curie temperatures (Okamura, Torizuka and Kojima, 1951 ;Wangsness and Maxwell, 1950; Maxwell and McGuire, 1953). However, a full realization of the information that can be obtained from these data did not emerge until theories were developed relating the dynamical behavior of the spin fluctuations near the phase transition to the line width (Mori, 1963).…”
