Simulation of isotropic electron spin resonance spectra: a transportable basic program

Abstract

A computer program written in BASIC is presented for the simulation of isotropic esr spectra using a microprocessor. Since BASIC is the most common microprocessor language, this program can easily be adapted to most microprocessors. Through the use of more efficient methods the capabilities of much larger FORTRAN programs, run on mainframe computers, are retained in the more restricted environment of the microprocessor. As a result, most spin trapping results can be dealt with easily. A number of sample simulations illustrate the program’s features.
