3. Differences between NMR and ESR1)Resonant FrequencyOne important difference between NMR and ESR is that in ESR the resonant frequencies tend tobe much higher, by virtue of the 659-times higher gyromagnetic ratio of an unpaired electronrelative to a proton. For example, a typical magnetic field strength used in ESR spectrometers is0.35 T, with a corresponding resonant frequency of about 9.8 GHz. This frequency range isknown as "X-band", and the spectrometer as an "X-band ESR spectrometer". Such spectrometersare readily available "off the shelf" from a (small) number of commercial sources.X-band ESR spectrometers are typically used to study small solid samples, or non-aqueoussolutions up to a few hundred μL in volume. They cannot be used for biological samples, or forin vivo studies, because of the strong non-resonant absorption of microwaves at 9.8 GHz. Forthat reason, ESR spectrometers (and imagers) have been constructed to operate at lowermagnetic fields, and correspondingly lower frequencies, including at "L-band" (about 40 mT and1 GHz) to study mice and "radiofrequency" (about 10 mT and 300 MHz) to study rats.2) Relaxation TimesThe second important difference between NMR and ESR is the typical relaxation timesencountered. In bio-medical proton NMR the relaxation times T1 and T2 are typically of the orderof 0.1 to 1 sec. In bio-medical ESR the equivalent electron relaxation times are a million timesshorter, i.e. 0.1 to 1 μsec! The extremely short relaxation times have important implications onthe way in which ESR measurements are carried out.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometry (NMR) is the term used in the sciences, e.g. in probing chemical structures, however the term "nuclear" is toxic to some people and the medical profession dropped the term and use Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) or MR when NMR is used to study the structure of organs in the body. The same physical priciples apply
