Resolution-enhancement of broadened spectra of the UV-light and thermal treated alanine free radicals

Two methods for resolution-enhancing broadened spectra were analyzed. One method was used to treat ESR spectra of the γ-ray induced alanine free radicals and to study the effect when they are subjected to UV-light and heat. Spectral differences are obvious between these treatments. From a combined UV-light and heat treatment of these free radicals, some ESR lines disappear while five broad lines still remain. These spectral differences may clearly suggest the existence of two or more free radical species in γ-ray irradiated alanine that can be predicted at room temperature.
