Since the discovery of generation of $O_2^-$ in plant, many evidence for the oxidative burst (OXB) has been accumulated in various combinations of plant and pathogen or elicitor systems. $O_2^-$ generating system responsible for the OXB was coupled with oxidation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) in microsomal fraction isolated from sliced aged potato tuber slices which were treated by hyphal wall components elicitor from Phytophthora infestans (HWC). We developed new assay method for quantitative measurement of oxygen radical $O_2^-$ by using electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis during elicitor­induced OXB on the surface of plant tissues. The ESR analysis using an $O_2^-$ trapper, Tiron (1,2-dihydroxy-3,5­benzenedisulfonic acid), provided a convenient assay for detecting only $O_2^-$ during elicitor-induced OXB producing various active oxygen species (AOS) on plant tissue surface. Tiron was oxidized to Tiron semiquinon radical by $O_2^-$. Quantity of the radical signal was measured by specific spectra on ESR spectroscopy. The level of $O_2^-$ was high in from surface of potato tuber tissue treated with hyphal cell wall elicitor (HWC) from Phytophthora infestans. There was no secondary OXB induction by $H_2O_2$ treatment in plant.

Three physical methods, photostimulated luminescence (PSL), thermoluminescence (TL), and electron spin resonance (ESR), have been applied to detect the irradiation treatment for the non- and steamed sesame seed samples. PSL successfully screened the irradiated samples from the non-irradiated control by comparing their photon counts (PCs) with the lower (less than 700 count/60 sec) and upper threshold values (higher than 5,000 count/60 sec). TL signals were still detected in all irradiated samples even after steaming, which was reconfirmed with TL ratios [integrated area of $TL_1$ (the first glow)/$TL_2$ (the second glow)] through re-irradiation step. ESR spectrometry showed that radiation-induced cellulose radicals were detected in all the irradiated samples irrespective of steaming treatment. Identification of the irradiated sesame seeds was possible even after steaming by analyzing PSL, TL, and ESR.

시판 혼합조미료(SS-1, SS-2)를 시료로 하여 조사선원(감마선, 전자선) 및 조사선량(0-20 kGy)에 따른 ESR spectrum의 특성을 비교하고, 방사선조사 유래의 signal에 대한 parameter를 분석하여 조사여부 판별을 뒷받침하는 자료를 확인하였다. 그 결과, 방사선 조사된 조미료 시료에서는 조사선원에 상관없이 특이한 free radical의 ESR signal을 보여주었다. 이 signal은 g-value가 2.031, 2.021, 2.017, 2.009, 2.002, 1.990 및 1.980인 크고 작은 7개의 peak를 지닌 crystalline sugar 유래의 multicomponent radical로 확인되었다. 그러나 방사선 처리되지 않은 두 시료(SS-1, SS-2)는 모두 매우 낮은 강도의 singlet line의 형태의 spectrum을 나타내어 비조사구와 조사구의 구별이 분명하였다. 조사선원과 선량에 따른 signal intensity를 비교한 결과, 동일한 측정조건에서 모든 조사선량에서 전자선 시료가 감마선시료보다 더 높은 강도를 나타내었으며, 조사선량의 증가에 따라 선형적으로 증가하였다($R^2=0.9916{\sim}0.9973$). 두 시료에서 방사선 조사 유래의 spectra는 조사선원 및 조사선량에 관계없이 g-value와 signal을 나타내는 자장영역은 거의 일정하였으며, 주요 signals($g_2=2.021$, $g_4=2.009$, $g_5=2.002$, $g_6=1.990$)의 강도 역시 조사선량에 따라 증가하였다($R^2=0.8243{\sim}0.9929$).

Vanadium-incorporated aluminophosphate molecular sieve $VO^{2+}-SAPO-5$ was studied by electron spin resonance (ESR) and electron spin echo modulation (ESEM) spectroscopies to determine the vanadium structure and interaction with various adsorbate molecules. It was found that the main species at low concentration of vanadium is a monomeric vanadium units in square pyramidal or distorted octahedral coordination, both in oxidation state (IV) for the calcined hydrated material and in oxidation state (V) for the calcined material. After calcinations in $O_2$ and exposure to moisture, only species A is observed with reduced intensities. It is suggested as a $VO(H_2O)_3^{2+}$ complex coordinated to two framework oxygen bonded aluminum. When calcined, hydrated $VO^{2+}-}SAPO-5$ is dehydrated at elevated temperature, a species loses its water ligands and transforms to $VO^{2+}$ ions coordinated to two framework oxygens (species B). Species B reduces its intensity, significantly after treatment with $O_2\;at\;600^{\circ}C$ for 5 h, thus suggesting oxidation of $V^{4+}\;to\;V^{5+}$. When dehydrated $VO^{2+}-SAPO-5$ contacts with $D_2O$ at room temperature, the EPR signal of species A is observed. Thus species assumed as a $VO^{2+}(O_f)_2(D_2O)_3$, by considering two framework oxygens. Adsorption of deuterated ethanol, propanol on dehydrated $VO^{2+}_{-}SAPO-5$ result in another new vanadium species E and F, respectively, which are identified as a $VO^{2+}-(CH_3CH_2OD)_3,\;VO^{2+}-(CH_3CH_2CH_2OD)_2$ complex. When deuterated benzene is adsorbed on dehydrated $VO^{2+}-SAPO-5$, another new vanadium species G, identified as a $VO^{2+}-(C_6D_6)$ is observed. Possible coordination geometries of these various complexes are discussed.

Here, I report solid state Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) of $^1H$ nuclear spins at 0.3 T and 4.2 K. The DNP polarizer was developed based on a commercial X-band Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) modified for DNP, in combination with a NMR console and a liquid-Helium cryostat. By detuning magnetic field, DNP spectrum was measured to find the optimal condition. At +3 mT detuned from on-resonance field, $^1H$ NMR signal of 60:40 glycerol/water frozen solution doped with 20 mM perdeuterated-Tempone was amplified 43 times. The $^1H$ spin polarization obtained at 4.2 K is over 3100 times higher than that at 300 K. The width of the DNP spectrum, which is five times broader than ESR spectrum, is inconsistent with solid effect or thermal mixing, and presumably suggests a different DNP mechanism.

본 연구에서는 Argyres-Sigel의 투영 연산자 방법을 단일 벽 탄소 나노튜브(SWNT)의 zigzag(10,0)에 직접 적용하여 이를 운동방정식의 형태로 만들어 선모양 함수를 구하는 방법을 사용하였다. 선모양 함수의 실수 부분인 선 너비는 저온 영역(T < 200K)에서 온도의 영향에 거의 무관한 것으로 조사되었다. 이는 온도에 관여하는 페르미-디랙 분포함수가 선모양 함수에 거의 영향을 작용하지 않기 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 고온 영역(T > 200K)에서는 선 너비가 다소 단조롭게 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 음향 포논의 영향에 기인하는 것으로 보인다. 그리고 SWNT의 전자스핀이완 시간은 $1.4{\times}10^{-6}\;s$으로 계산되었다.

Dating and dosimetry using electron spin resonance (ESR) in 20th Century developed at both Yamaguchi University and Osaka University have been reviewed with emphasis on new prospects and strategies in 21th century. Natural radiation have been generating radicals that accumulated in archaeological and geological materials. ESR detects these radicals and the ESR signal intensity is proportional to the radiation dose and therefore the age. The assessment of the total dose of natural radiation and the annual dose rate give their ESR ages. The ESR dating of stalactites and stalagmites ant Akiyoshi cave in Yamaguchi prefecture in 1975 was extended to anthropological dating using bones and tooth enamel excavated in Greek Petralona cave. Fossils of shells and corals gave the ages of marine terraces and sea-level changes. Quartz grains gave the ages of geothermal alteration and fault movements. Future ESR dating of ices at outer planets anf their satellite are also investigated as basic studies for ices od $H_2O,\;CO_2,\;SO_2$ as well as terrestrial hydrates in laboratory. Atomic bomb radiation dosimetry at Hiroshima and Nagasaki using ESR lead to the dosimetry of personnel, Chemobyl and JCO criticality accidents. Monitoring of radiation dose with sensitive materials with tissue equivalence are being developed. finally a new scanning ESR imaging apparatus (a near field microwave microscope) developed in our laboratory gave ESR images of Radicals from fossils to Si-CVD and diamond films as summarized in my book in 2002.

Photoinduced charge separation of alkylphenothiazines in molecular assemblies such as positively, negatively and neutrally charged micelle interface results in the paramagnetic phenothiazine cation radical. This was studied as a model system for the light energy conversion into chemical energy. The photoproduced phenothaizne cation radical was identified and its amount was quantized with electron spin resonance (ESR). The microenvironment of photoproduced cation radical was studied with pulsed-ESR. Such a charge separation is enhanced by the optimization of various structural factors of the molecular assemblies. The structural factors of molecular assemblies have focused on the interface charge, interface structure with different headgroups and interfacial perturbation by disolving interface active organic additives.

The antioxidative effect of Ecklonia cava, a brown marine alga, was investigated on radical scavenging, including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and hydroxyl and alkyl radicals, using an electron spin resonance (ESR) technique, and on the inhibition of $H_2O_2$-induced DNA damage using comet assay. E. cava was enzymatically hydrolyzed with five food industrial proteases (Alcalase, Flavourzyme, Kojizyme, Neutrase and Protamex) to prepare water-soluble extracts. All the proteolytic hydrolysates exhibited strong dose-dependent radical scavenging activities (above 80%) at a concentration of $2.5\;{\mu}g/mL$. Kojizyme extract (obtained by proteolytic hydrolysation of E. cava with Kojizyme) showed the highest hydroxyl radical scavenging activity of around 98%. In addition, the $H_2O_2$-induced DNA damage was determined using a comet assay, which was quantified by measuring the tail length. Reduction of DNA damage increased with increasing concentrations of Kojizyme extract from E. cava. These results indicated that E. cava has a potential as a valuable natural antioxidative source.

섬유소 식품의 조사처리 여부 확인에서 전자스핀공명분석법의 개선을 위한 기초자료를 마련하고자, 감마선 조사된 브로콜리와 배추의 전처리 건조방법(FD, OD, ALD, 및 WAD)에 따른 cellulose radical을 분석 비교하였다. 브로콜리 시료에서는 single central signal($g_0$=2.0007)이 나타났으며, 배추 시료에서는 single central signal 외에 $Mn^{2+}$ ion에 의한 sextet signal이 추가로 발견되었다. 조사처리한 채소류에서는 singlet signal을 중심으로 좌우 두 개의 side peak가 나타났으며, 각 side peak의 거리는 5.8-6.1 mT로 조사처리 유래의 cellulose radical임을 확인할 수 있었다. 채소류의 부위별로 ESR spectra를 비교한 결과, 배추는 뿌리와 줄기, 브로콜리는 잎, 줄기 모두 조사처리 여부를 판별하는데 있어 적합하였다. 건조 방법별로는 FD와 OD 처리 시 ESR 강도는 더 높았으나, $Mn^{2+}$ ion과 함께 나타나 명확한 signal을 얻기 어려웠다. 반면, ALD와 WAD 방법의 경우 $Mn^{2+}$ ion이 제거되고, signal ratio도 적합하게 나타나 조사 처리된 채소류의 ESR 판별시, ALD와 WAD 방법이 가장 적합할 것으로 판단되었다.
