Electron Spin Resonance Measurements of Keratins treated with X-Rays

Abstract

WITH an X-band electron resonance spectrometer which works with 30 cycles/sec. field-modulation1, reflexion-type cavity and current-regulated high-voltage magnet, we investigated the electron spin resonance spectra of some keratins after X-irradiation at 310 kr./min., 11 mm. high voltage-level in the dose-range of 50 kr.–5 Mr.
