Application of Ferroelectrics in Radiospectroscopy

Our results show that the application of ferroelectrics as ferroelectric resonators can significantly increase the sensitivity of electron paramagnetic resonance, nuclear magnetic resonance methods and provide a higher quality of magnetic resonance imaging. Ferroelectric resonators allow the possibility to observe natural paramagnetic impurities in electron paramagnetic resonance and to record impurities without special doping in nuclear magnetic resonance. Secondly, it is possible to investigate electron paramagnetic resonance in vivo because the ferroelectric resonator can be located outside the cavity. Finally, a ferroelectric resonator made the development of a portable and sensitive electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer possible.
