Compilation

Compile the document main.tex with XeLaTeX using MikTeX. When displaying scatter data it may be necessary to expand the main memory size with the additional compiler argument --extra-mem-top=100000000.

Experimental Data

This work contains example KEPR data acquired during a practical in the directory data. The files also include the corresponding fits and residuals. For complementary stationary EPR spectra check out the repository esr_plot.

• esr_daten-6_kepr.txt: tert-Butylperoxyl radical generated through UV-irradiation of 10uL 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3-pentanone (5.79M) in 90uL tert-butylbenzene.
• esr_daten-7_kepr.txt: Stannyloxy nitroxide generated through two reaction pathways:
