The research group has wide experience in ESR and NMR spectroscopy. Scope of research: spin dynamics and relaxation in solids; study of internal fields, structure, magnetic properties, electronic states and phase transitions in oxide superconductors and fullerides. Equipment: an original home-made apparatus for studying extremely fast electron spin relaxation; Bruker ER-200 ESR spectrometer; facilities for performing experiments at 4.2 - 300 K.
