ESR and Slow Motions in Liquid Crystals

  • Chapter
The Molecular Dynamics of Liquid Crystals

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 431))

Abstract

The theory of slow motional ESR is outlined, with applications to nitroxide spectra in liquid crystals. The computer algorithms for implementing the theory based on the stochastic Liouville equation are also discussed.
