Abstract

EPR spectroscopy was extensively used for characterization of highly reactive paramagnetic species produced by ionizing radiation in low-temperature solids for 60 years. The present chapter outlines experimental approaches in this field and presents a review of recent development using a combination of EPR and IR spectroscopy. This approach made it possible to get a new insight in the radiation-induced chemistry of molecules in solids and to provide more detailed information on the structure and dynamics of radiation-induced radicals.
