Abstract

Electron spin resonance imaging is a technique using similar principles to the established nuclear magnetic resonance imaging; however, the very fast electron-spin relaxation time constants of the former are an experimental challenge. In order to obtain T₂-weighted as well as functional images spatially resolved in the micrometer range, we use temperature-dependent pulsed X-band ESR and the back-projection reconstruction method. We present here recent results of our imaging project focussing on quasi one-dimensional organic conductors, where even pulsed conduction electron-spin resonance is possible.
